Re: Hola

Please I really need advice or should i say help about what Restons Solicitors put me through over the years.

I shall try to cut the long story short as possible! I took out a loan from HFC in 2005 and I lost my job along the line in 2006. HFC then took the case to Restons Solicitors who then wrote me the first and only correspondence that I should pay my debt or they will put a charge order on my property.

Anyway when I lost my job, I tried to re-mortgage my flat in order to pay my debts and to also have some extra money. The re-mortgage was successful and I paid all the outstanding debts including the court fee in total £5,500.

Then, this year, I decided to sell my property and to my utter dismay the conveyancy solicitor dealing with the sale of the property told me that the process could proceed as a Charge Order was placed on my property in 2006 by Restons Solicitors. As you can imagine, I was so furious!!! I contacted Restons and was told that the case might have been archived because it was an old case and they had changed systems (whatever that meant).

Few days after I called Restons, a lady called me back from Reston to explain to me what happened. She sent me a statement showing that I had paid in full in 2006 and said the person that dealt with my case in 2006 after I made the full payment forgot to remove the Charge order from my property. They have now removed it.

Let me stop the story here. So do you think I have a good case of getting any compensation from them (Restons Solicitors) knowing fully well that the Charging Order placed on my property by them affected my credit rating for so many years and having been refused credit whenever I applied………………………………..
