    He laughed,half expected it though.
    he gave me a 650 pound sub off my reward,so i guess my daughter will be on phone to go shopping.
    thanks for replys.

      £650.00 is better than nothing..........

        As has been said many times, few things are certain.

        However, based on what has been said, of one thing I am certain the Ombudsman is not going to come to your aid.

        If matters were so simple and straightforward, a) why didn't you deal with it yourself, and b) why did you AGREE to your solicitors fee being 25% of any compensation recovered. (It is not a "reward"!).

        How would you have felt if having agreed to 25% your solicitor had said, sorry, was more complex than I thought, I want 50%.

          If the OP has accepted some money is this acceptance of the contract?
