    Sorry to hear that. The only advice I can give is legal ombudsman. But they expect you to complain to the solicitors first before contacting them. If you look at the website you can find their complaint letter.

    I went to Citizen Advice Bureau asking for legal advice. My local CAB have student solicitors mentored by a barrister. They were able to give me legal advice, but it's time consuming.

    Tegamus has sent a letter saying they have closed the case. Not sent a bill so hoping it's the end of it

    Hi, I'm currently having similar problems with a claim and just wondering if you had any dealing with taking a loan out with novitas regarding the no win no fee side of the case.?

    Yes a loan has been taken out and it's ever increasing yet the case hasn't moved much. It's worrying to be honest. I feel ill thinking about it
