Morning tinks. Most solicitors will give you a short free consultation.

[emmie]

depends on what it;s about, if in UK i would start with
Citizens Advice Bureau, it's free for a start then go from there.

[waterboatman]

CAB will tell you what I've just told you.

[emmie]

as i said it will depend on what it;s about, solicitor can advise too.

[waterboatman]

True emmie.

[emmie]

Do you have access to an expert thru your work or union? Or legal cover on your house insurance

I meant eap rather than expert.

Financial Advice gone wrong, Tinker?

Then the FCA. Financial Conduct Authority

I experienced a Finance Advice gone wrong situation - a couple of letters from me got them paying up - they feared the publicity of anything more formal.

You could try a direct access barrister - I know quite a few will have a prelim chat for no fee. Best thing to do is google chambers near to you and see if they have anyone who does that kind of work who will do direct public access.

thx barmaid ( since I am just about the only one who does the thanking thing)

[bednobs]

Calm down pp plenty of other people thank. In fact tinkernbell thanked people already

[tinkerbell23]

I would actually happily pay someone for their expertise for some quick advice!!

Appreciate your help!

I found a local “Advice clinic” I have emailed but that isnt speedy.

I might be best phoning around for advice! X

Phoned a local solicitor today & had advice!
