Paying a money grabbing solicitor
I phoned a solicitor to discuss him advising me about a possible eviction in view of Superstrike, he said he would read my documents for £100 so I sent the documents to him.
He then sent me a letter asking for £350.
I spoke with him and he denied saying £100.
I asked him for the documents back again and said I would pay the postage.
He has sent me another letter asking for “£48 to cover costs to date, further costs and postage.”
He has not read the documents.
What do folks think I should pay him?
I now don’t actually want the documents back – I thought I had sent originals but fortunately I only sent copies.
Thanks

I have one that falls into the timeframe, I returned the deposit so just have to cross my fingers for another 5 years!
