What's the likely outcome if they appoint a soilicitor?
It's highly possible. Then it's up to your defence which you
will get all the help here.
As you know, as from the 1st October, the ball park has changed
regarding claims and what it means is the claimant must
open a dialogue with you and not making wild unfounded
threats
Should a solicitor not comply with the new procedures, anyone
can complain directly to the Ministry of Justice, David Lidington
The new procedure is now law.
As of now, you deny any debt and request proof.
If they ignore thar, they are in trouble0 -
