    DEAL are after my Scalp aover this can of worms but there is No solicitor named M schwartz never was they invented it
    Forward the claim form to contactcentre@sra.org.uk informing them you as many others have they are falsely claiming to be a solicitor by "inventing one" and issuing litigation using this fake solicitor also ask the SRA as this must be the umpteenth complaint against this form and bogus solicitor scam what exactly are they going to do about it ?
    They company obviously are not afraid of the SRA as they are just increasing the deception due to the SRA failing to do anything about it.


    You should also file a defence amendment detailing the information that they have invented a fictitious solicitor who has been ordered to attend courts for identification and failed.


    sorry , there is a Mr Schwartz , micheal david Schwartz sri 118966 , type that into google or look at the pepipoo postings inc one today


    HOWEVER , did mr schwartz know DEAL were using his name? , as he seems to be still working at http://www.duncanlewis.co.uk/Michael-Schwartz-Crime-Solicitor-Harrow-Middlesex/

    The DEAL paperwork was (allegedly) signed by M Shwarts. It is THIS person that (maybe) doesn't exist.

    So not Schwartz, or Schwarts or Shwartz. Shwarts. ;)

    I have heard of all 3 names been used.
    Either way, they appear to have gone rouge.
    I do Contracts, all day every day.

    "Pasted in below is my email reply (long awaited) from SRA.......................

    Please accept my apologies for the delay in providing a substantive update to your previous emails.

    I can confirm that enquiries were ongoing to establish whether the “M. SHWARTS” noted on the court application documents is a solicitor or not as there are several qualified solicitors of the name ‘M Schwartz’ (and other slight variations of spelling) that could be employed or instructed by Debt Enforcement & Action Ltd. In the first instance the enquiries were to establish if the spelling on the claim forms is the correct spelling of the solicitor’s name or whether it is a misspelling that has been repeated by the use of a template document.

    These enquiries were crucial as I need to establish whether this matter should be dealt with under the Solicitors Code of Conduct (if the individual is a solicitor) or whether the matter should be treated as a criminal investigation under Solicitors Act 1974 ss. 20-21 and s.24 or s.14 Legal Services Act 2007.

    I can now confirm that I received a response from Civil Enforcement Ltd, the parent company of Debt Enforcement & Action Ltd, a short time ago today which confirmed that the solicitor in question is Michael SCHWARTZ, SRA id 118966. I can confirm that this person is a solicitor currently on the Roll of Solicitors of England & Wales and does hold a current Practising Certificate. Furthermore Civil Enforcement Ltd has informed me that they have written to the Court informing them that there was a spelling error on the claims documents issued by referring to the solicitor as “SHWARTS”.

    As such I will be today referring the reports that the SRA has received regarding these issued claim forms to the Supervision team of the SRA to consider any breaches of the SRA Code of Conduct.

    I hope that you find this update informative.

    Your sincerely

    This is all brilliant news I am awaiting my court date and have really enjoyed reading these updates. My plan was always to turn up in court with my expenses, how do I go about getting my expenses from them, do I simply put a claim in after I have won (which I will)?

    I have never contacted or spoken to them so I don't expect (disappointed) a call from them, I would love a chat in the style of Liam Nesson and my unique set of skills etc.

    You need to have your expenses already set out and documented. Have it (and copies) ready to hand to the judge at the time, once he declares your victory. Much better done there and then.

    However, the chances of CEL/DEAL still being in existence to settle your claim in the next few days/weeks seems to be remote right now. The wheels are falling off the whole scam as we speak.

    now IF this is the Mr Schwartz that the SRA are referring to , and there is only him listed , a quick search on his history shows some bad things ,


    pocketing cheques belonging to some one else ?

    according to the SRA , there is only one Mr Schwartz registered.

    it will all come out in the wash ,
