    I have never come across a bunch of so bad so called professionals in my life.

    @post #23 .... Even mobile devices allow for punctuation and paragraphs.
  • They don't seem to do anything, don't respond to emails or phone calls, don't send letters (or they seem to go missing in the post), spell my name incorrectly, and just generally have this air of incompetence. Am looking at going elsewhere as a year has been wasted already.

    Like I have said earlier in my scenario they mixed up the claimant and the defendant and witness and caused me nightmares.
    We have had private detectives around the house trying to get us to act as a witness for the guy who caused the accident because the way they handled the case he thinks he can turn the blame around to an innocent Lordy driver,needless to say I have told them to do one
  • I had a claim go through DLG Legal Services.

    The other side had accepted liability right away and so made an offer, however DLG advised me NOT to accept the offer and to take it to court as my case handler at DLG believed the offer was too low.

    Trusting their expertise I took their advice to go to court. In the meantime they sent me a cheque in the sum of the other sides original offer. DLG LOST the case (the judge in his “wisdom” going completely against medical opinion and expertise!!) and now DLG say I have to pay them some money back as it is part of their fees.

    Is this right or acceptable? I would have thought that any money sent on to me should already have had their fees deducted?

    In short I wouldn't use them at all.
  • I can only assume Churchill use them as they were cheap, it's clearly not for their level of competence, still it's lost Churchill a long term customer and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    DLG have been about as effective as a wet paper towel when it comes to claiming back my expenses from a no fault claim over 18 months ago. They claim the 3rd party insurers are not responding to their emails (more likely not taking them seriously) am sure they are dragging it out to keep getting paid by Churchill.

    One lame excuse they tried to give is that they phoned the 3rd party insurers regarding an email they had sent a week ago only to be told they hadn't even looked at it yet - hardly fills you with any confidence about how they are regarded does it?

    Avoid them and any firm that uses them I certainly will in future!

    Maybe I should start my own legal firm, I can't be any worse than this bunch of cowboys!
