Hi Amethyst - we signed up in 2013 for a selling price of £250k and have only had 2 viewings. During this time we have agreed to reduce the price down to £225k. They have been marketing and advertising the Business to the tune of over £11.5k plus VAT. They have now suggested that we sign a statement agreeing to vary the terms of business to £2,500 commission plus advertising and marketing £11,500 and they will freeze the advertising and marketing meaning the total payable on sale would be £14,502 Inc VAT. I do have a 4 sided contract, the front page was amended by rep to read 4% commission and was assured that there were no other charges. Although the small print ties you up in knots. I don't know whether to take the easy way out and agree the new terms or be prepared to fight it in county court.

Dear reader,

Is there anywhere the public can view previous cases online? Long story short, I basically want to hire RunRabbits barrister, but I have no information.

Thanks in advance,

Kind Regards

There are some pretty good barristers out there, you dont have to focus all of your attention on just one. Im pretty sure Wilsons have lost more than once

Following to my post in September where Ernest wilson decided to invoice me for selling a business that I had sold myself, after promising me no commission charge, just to say that today I won. Despite offering them early settlement along the way, and them declining anything less than full, today they tried to settle early. I decided to fight it and the judge ruled in my favour.

My barrister was the key to this and I'm so greatful. The amount they were wrongly trying to charge me was no way near as much money as I've heard other people telling me about, but to myself and family £5000 was worth fighting. We did it, we won and tonight I am celebrating.

Hi Iam in the same boat has you can we perhaps discuss further please
