Response to update to n&p Is solicitor right?

I don't like the sound of your solicitor - just who does he think he is acting for? The fact that he doesn't know what an SAR is suggests to me that he is in danger of being shown up as negligent; I would stand your ground with him and insist he does his job properly or go swing for his fee. With regards to suing the ex-partner - best of luck. Ignorance of the Law is not grounds for a civil prosecution however; you will need to demonstrate intent to injure/defraud/evade responsibility for the debt on his part. Despite having a concrete case with all of the above claerly proven in my case, I failed to get any recompense. The courts see it as a domestic issue between your partner and her ex, and most solicitor's will not touch it.
