Hi,
I posted yesterday with regards to having a bad sole vised they could help me, asked me to raise a complaint with the previous firm and then send them court papers.. I did both of these things.
I receive an email from the new solicitor to tell me they don't have the capacity to take on my case, I ring them and plead with them - they cannot help.
By this point, I have already raised the issues and concerns with my current solicitor and asked to not object to the transfer of legal aid.
The firm I was with have emailed me to say they note my complaint to which a response will be provided, in the mean time my ex has asked for an urgent hearing to be listed within 7 days to wait for enforcement action. I am in a daze and panicking, I don't know what to do. I effectively now how no representation.
The firm I was with have asked for me to let them know details of who the new solicitor and ask them to get in touch and if they do not hear by the end of the week they will discharge the certificate.
What do I do? I've called so many solicitors since 4pm and they can't help, they are reluctant to take on a case with a transfer of legal aid certificate.
Can I request an adjournment if a hearing is listed in 7 days? I'm so scared. I cannot represent myself as litigant in person as my exes counsel is so ferociously aggressive.
Please help me with some advise.
I'm really scared.
