Perhaps they are now sending out fake SD's to save money?
Is that a crime and should it be reported to the authorities?Comment

If fake, raise a formal complaint with SRA

Definitely worth investigating. and 100% make a formal complaint to the SRA against the law firm that initiated the SD . You can even claim compensation for the stress and anxiety, but more importantly it put the solicitor back in its cage

I don't believe the person you will be complaining about is a lawyer nor has ever had legal training.

If thats the case, However if the SD was served by a solicitor, and later proved to be without proper foundation its worth register a SRA complain just for the grief that will cause them.Originally posted by eek View PostI don't believe the person you will be complaining about is a lawyer nor has ever had legal training.

So if this is a fraudulent SD could one not bring charges against the author? Isn't this attempted fraud?Originally posted by eek View PostSee my previous post - It wasn't. Felicitas are cheapstakes.
Is this a matter for the police?Comment
