WOW . . must be nice to have a hotline to the top.

How many 'no win no fee' lawyers did that take?

Re: Just had an offer via phone.
 

I point blank refused to deal with that dreadful offshore call centre ever again & threatened to close the remainder of my accounts if I didn't get a special number to ring (as I had up until just a few years ago). Being severely disabled is difficult enough without their nonsense.

Nothing to stop you doing the same. Whilst this was intertwined with legalities over something else, you shouldn't need a solicitor for this

It wasn't done via no win, no fee btw, it was done through a firm of solicitors that we use for legal matters.

Re: Just had an offer via phone.
 

Oh I think there's a lot stopping me doing the same, in fact I'm starting to think I could be discriminated against.

Do those solicitors work for free?

Re: Just had an offer via phone.
 

Discriminated against on what grounds? This may be illegal.

Free? Yes & no. Our company pays for their services, but as part of the package, the directors obtain legal services at no cost to themselves.

If you don't receive legal services at no cost to yourself, this should be easy enough to deal with without the need for paid legal professionals.

As previously stated, "free legal services" are a benefit-in-kind, and would attract a tax liability (unless it’s a very small amount, and as we all know, lawyers ≠ small bills).

Buy a BT call blocking phone, I did and it was best £40 I've ever spent. filter all my landline calls through it.
