in Loans
I need legal help that I can’t get legal aid for and need to go through the family court to get a financial order that was never done during a divorce.
im looking at companies that finance legal costs. One is called Legal Cost Finance
the other is absolute barrister
when I try calling them it’s an answer phone service.
has anyone heard of these companies, good or bad? Or have anyone else to recommend?
thanks

How much do you require?
Would a personal loan from your local bank not do?
Sorry I know I'm not answering your question - I have no knowledge of the companies you mention.0 -
Can you afford to repay these guys if you use their credit facility?"We act as though comfort and luxury are the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about” – Albert Einstein0

Thanks both,
Yes I can afford to repay.My credit is only medium at the moment so I’m not sure I can get a loan the normal way. These guys have a year at 0% APR. I’m not sure what it is after I’m in the process of finding out.0 -
