I received a letter from Paul Chaloner. The letter was extremely threatening. Paul Chaloner was acting for a client (a debt recovery agent I am suing). Paul Chaloner told me that my claim would automatically FAIL if I proceeded, he was citing Privity of Contract, but what Paul Chaloner was failing to mention is that this was reformed in 1999 by the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. Paul Chaloner knows full well that I have a valid claim and using receipt, tried the 'threaten me' from bringing a civil claim. He them went on to make allegations that I threatened to defame his client (the bailiffs), what I had said is that I would make public my honest experiences with the bailif. This is not defamation, but Paul thinks that because he is a Solicitor, he can bully and abuse his position, well, I have reported him to the the SRA for his intention receipt, and, using my rights of Freedom of Speech to publish what he has done and my honest held opinions. do not trust him, a solicitor who is prepared to lie is not a solicitor you can trust (in my opinion).

No service. Enquired about making a will. The old battle-axe on reception snapped “I’m about to take lunch. You can either phone up or come back in an hour”. Terrible customer service. Rude lady

Terrible, never did the work they were originally instructed to do. Took months as a "priority case" to rectify. They were clearly out of their depth with this case, not the usual rubber stamp and provide searches that they are used to.
