hi guys jus looking for your options really

Id a bad RTA in jan 09 and was claiming from the third parties insurance for injuries to my back and neck after been assessed by 4different docturs and specialists i was refered to the PIAB assessment and they evaluated my claim and in november i received an offer i thought was reasonable

so to make a long story short my solister who i found on claims.ie and who i never actually meet (everything was via email,letter,and phone) issues me my bill last friday it looks a pretty high figure but when i looked at the date of the accident on the bill it was dated nov 2007 the wrong date with a 14month difference

can i dispute some of money over the date been wrong or would it be a typo like he claims but surely 14months is a bit much 2 4 a typo and we had a bitter relationship form the start his not an easy man to deal with

Am I right in thinking that the money is to be sent to your Solicitor and he then takes his fee, but they haven't got the cheque from the insurance company yet?

ya he will be but seen as he has the dat e wrong by 4months i thinks its a bit 2 fishy and i no its pro sitting in his account earning interest cus the 6weeks are up a week now

So he's being paid by the insurance company when the money is paid to him and he then gives you the balance? But he want s you to pay up because there is a delay in the insurance company paying??

no he jus issued the bill so hell take it out when he does get the money e.g i was offered 36g his fees were 5g i came out with 31g

Argue with him over the price although you should have gone to a "normal" solicitor. The way you went was no win no fee? They charge a fortune and too be hinest you really don't have a lot to argue........
