Annual form filling… I’ve heard of a case, and I’ve now had this myself, of being asked specifically what social media sites I’m on. Usernames are mandatory, what we do with them is not. I felt a LOT of pressure to answer this with the obvious feeling of ‘if you don’t answer, you’re hiding something’. I answered honestly but I wish I hadn’t answered at all. Anyone else had this?

Fighting or Accepting - its difficult to know which is right and when.

Finally got a reply from someone connected to my original solicitors firm. They sent me an email. Hopefully will be able to get access to my file they hold.

Yes, I’ll send her an email and see if she will respond to that question and information too.

If the solicitor you spoke to recently is still willing to take your emails and answer any questions, forward the information I posted in the standard shpo restrictions thread and see what she says. Solicitor who dealt with your case to begin with should have argued the notification of devices, but get confirmation from the solicitor you spoke too.

Thought I’d add to this thread Dan.

I contacted the solicitors regulation authority and apparently they hold details of what happens to files when firms go into liquidation. They said their system has not updated so ring back in 30 days.

As for the solicitor I spoke to I’m not sure what to think. She’s the only one that replies in the area so I didn’t have anyone else to ask.

Thanks. I’ll have a look into that too.

If the firm no longer exist then I am not to sure how or who you could apply for a subject access request, however I came across this which might be of some help. https://www.sra.org.uk/consumers/problems/solicitor-closed-down/. If you remember the name of the solicitor / barrister dealing with your case and can track them down, they may have some idea.

Quick side question too..my original solicitors has been liquidated. Is there a way to still get access to my file?
