Don't know what to do really. Dh was dismissed from job on Xmas Eve as some of you know and he's had a solicitor working the case for him. As the letter was dated 22nd Dec, he has until 22nd March to take this to court (as you have to do within 3 months).
Whilst solicitor does investigative work, he was told to write to old employer asking for copy of personnel file within 14 days. They sent a letter a week later saying it would be sent in due course - stalling obviously (he was only there 4 months so it's not going to be a big file!). Anyway, their 14 days was up a week or 2 ago so he did a follow up letter and solicitor was supposed to check and edit it - this was on Thursday!
Dh has phoned and phoned but solicitor never returns calls. We're really worried as we now have 4 weeks for this whole case to go to court and we have no idea what's going on??? When dh called solicitor today, they said they'd take a message and he basically told the lady that he's extremely worried as never gets called back and she said he'd get a call this afternoon. Guess what..........NO CALL!!
Where do we stand on this? Our legal cover is paying this solicitor £2500 to investigate this case and we have no idea where we're at?? This man gets £120 an hour - for what??!! What happens if we miss the 3 months getting it to court due to solicitor messing us about??
Sorry it's so long but getting worried!
Even more annoying thing is we've been living off credit card etc. and although dh called jobcentre on 4th Jan (for claiming job seekers allowance), we've STILL not had a penny from them!!
