SRA ADMITTED FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR GROSS INCOMPETENCE BUT HAVE CONTINUED TO FAIL TAKING ACCOUNTABILITY FIR REMEDY !

SUMMARY ILLUSTRATED IN MY LATEST EMAIL TO THEIR CEO PAUL PHILLIPS WHO HIMSELF HAS RUDELY IGNORED ALL EMAILS TO DATE (DESPITE TRACE CONFIRMED RECEIPT)

Dear Mr Phillips

The SRA in continued discriminatory silence and lack of accountability causative to significant emotional distress serves to further evidence the culture of tardiness and incompetence that resulted in the initial gross negligence which SRA had no option but to admit full responsibility for all its failures and maladministration.

SRA clearly admitted full liability for it’s negligence only because of my steadfast pursuit of the truth over the course of nearly a year.

SRA caused initial delay of a year to my being able to fulfill all HMCTS Probate procedures.

SRA subsequently made a derisory gesture which was nowhere close to adequately compensating for the adverse financial impact and significant emotional distress which all SRA failings caused.

After I rejected and presented return of SRAs bureaucratic forms (I believe which were deliberately used to intimidate and attempted avoidance to being fully held to account) there continues to be the rudeness of silence and no resolution another year on !

SRA have discriminated against prior notified disabilities (defined protected characteristics within Equalities Act 2010).

SRA have breached GDPR having ignored full DSAR request despite my reminders continuing over a year !

SRA is independently reported by others (clients/claimants) on Social Media (such as X formerly Twitter) and Consumer Feedback sites (such as Trustpilot) for failing it’s own code of conduct. Evidently it’s not just my own appalling experience of SRA that illustrates SRA is not fit for purpose.
A regulator function that wholly fails to role-model conduct and compliance should not be in any position to regulate and impose others.

Mr Phillips kindly desist from personally being complicit in the endemic tardiness and ignorance that is widely evident across SRA and particularly in my case continues to abhorrently add further trauma to bereavement now approaching two years on !

Yours Sincerely

Dr #### #######

UPDATE 19/8/2024 - DESPITE SRA BEING WHOLLY TO BLAME AND ADMITTED LIABILITY OVER A YEAR AGO THEY HAVE STILL NOT ACTIONED OR REMEDIED. ALSO HAVE FAILED TO ACTION FULL DSAR REQUEST MADE OVER A YEAR AGO - ATTROCIOUS BREACH OF GDPR !!

So my solicitors have run off with £30.000 ,pounds and refused to send me a invoice for work done these people just couldn't care less
Brilliant new everyone the company has news. been shut down and his licence revoked lol Abbott and Co solicitors are no more

I went through sort legal to purchase my property and sent them many emails querying the use of the.driveway.
After purchasing the property I find out the driveway has an easement over it .
Sort legal failed to find this out for me and now deny fault !!
What’s the point in paying for a solicitor when they can’t find out something as simple as this ,but so very important!!

1. Mis led by Clyde and co re a witness.

2. Had evidence that Clyde and co lied in an email by the witness

3. Sra stated it’s one word against another.

4. clyde and co stated it as via telephone and it wasn’t recorded (surprise surprise)

5. Did not
Class the emails 4 and a letter from
Admiral as evidence that Clyde had lied and said 1 word against another

Absolute JOKE

Can’t wait
For sra to be shut down definite back handers going on!

The SRA did not write to say that my solicitor had been closed down over 5 years ago, despite having all of my correct contact details - they should have done this. The SRA would not provide me with MY Will without me giving them my wife's id. I had to constantly chase-up my request. My Will arrived 17 weeks after my archives request.

Bunch of crooks. Cannot be relied upon for fairness and impartiality. They will side with solicitors regardless of the evidence against them.

Complete waste of time, energy and effort to expect a fair and independent outcome to their investigations.

If I could give no stars I would as they are not deserving.

SRA CEO WE ARE SUBMITTING HIGH COURT

The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) are an independent regulatory body and do not have a regulator.

Solicitors Regulation Authority Limited (SRA) is a private company limited by guarantee. The SRA is the regulator of solicitors in England and Wales.

SRA has linked solicitors to an indemnity insurance , and the same is connected to their annual income

In fact most solicitors in the uk , they turned to MEDIATOR .
NON of them can take big banners to court .
This is a totally autocratic , no different than Russia and North Korea .

We are submitting court papers , as they created employment , distributing licenses just for making money , and they protect corrupt solicitors that don’t expect the letters of law

A glance who regulate and oversee solicitors in the US and In France , you will be shocked to see , that in the uk , SRA TO make it profitable , use foreign nationals o deal with complaints

SRA IS A CRIMINAL INSTITUTION

WE HAVE A FULL FILE FOR EUROPEAN COMMISSION TO FULLY DENOUNCE THEM

Reported a solicitor as they sent me a bill via e-mail, addressed "dear sirs" concerned about its legitimacy I asked the company for a break down of the bill and called them. The paralegal was away, conveniently did not contact me until the 12 days has elapsed for me to pay the monies owed, she also did not tell me that it triggered another £900 plus fee. I could have taken loosing, but they where patronizing enough to say that this wasn`t taking advantage. While I can accept I could have handled the matter better, the response reeked of being in cahoots with the companies who are members.

A pointless and toothless organisation. The SRA are as complicit as their shifty members which unfortunately there are many. Greed rules the roost and the SRA will seek to protect that. This is my honest opinion of my personal experience of this poor organisation.

I reported a solicitor who was clerk of a Police and Crime Panel for failing to record a complaint. The first investigator, confused the Police and Crime Panel and Police and Crime Commissioner and said "Her actions in relation to your complaint are within policies set down by the council and PCC." mistaking the fact that the Police and Crime Panel is separate from the other two.

After I complained, the complaint handler in a phone call, even googled and found the correct policy (he was probably expecting it to show I had complained to the wrong person) but doubled down when he found that I had followed the correct policy. He later refused to accept that investigation officer had erred, ignored most of my detailed points sent by email which he invited me to send, and did not follow up his offer of another phone call.

In the final email, he contradicted the initial findings by saying by saying "That she may or may not have applied her organisations own Rules and Procedures is not for the SRA to determine." completely contradicting what the first investigation.

It is worrying that the SRA apparently do not care if solicitors do not follow legislation or the policy of the public bodies which they chair.

I wonder if there is an internal policy to simply reject a certain percentage of complaints with invented reasons. They would, of course, never admit to targets or have official ones but I wonder if those with integrity get reprimanded for accepting too many complaints.

Why are the reviews removed ?
My mother died in 2019.
She had changed her will 3 times in 20 weeks then passed away 20 weeks after the last will was signed.
The lawyer involved, once questioning started filled in the lark and negus statement then retired and went to France.
My two disabled sons had been disinherited from a legal trust that had stood for 10 years in their name and the total estate was left to a church.
The total amount of money was around £345,000
Also around £40,000 in cash was taken on the night my mother died from the house someone had the keys.
We complained to the SRA that the property had not been properly secured or locked down
The lawyer admitted to taking cash gifts from the client of up to £100.
The medical test of sound mind and body was not carried out until the last will change was taken.
The SRA refused to carry out a proper professional investigation and upheld all the questions in the lawyers favour who wrote out the wills.
Who is having our posts removed and why?

We presented 20 items in support of our complaint against a Legal Aid Solicitor based on the information on the SRA website and basically they have ignored or possibly didn’t even read it.

My wife’s family have been waiting over 6 months for her late mother’s Will following the SRAs Intervention when they closed down the Solicitors Practice holding the Will.

The SRA closed down the failing Practice over 7 months ago and yet despite repeated requests for an update the SRA have singularly failed to offer ANY update and critically ANY indication of expected timescale.

Requesting the matter be escalated within the SRA and a request to engage the Intermediary as per their own stated procedures has been completely ignored.

Of course without the Will probate cannot be organised and therefore the estate Is incurring escalating costs which are completely avoidable if the SRA where to actually do something

Frankly they are a completely unprofessional and seemingly pointless organisation.

Failure to carry out my instructions, mishandling of my complaint against a solicitor firm, overall poor service. After I then complained about the SRA, they denied any wrongdoing despite not even carrying out a large part of the investigation I requested. I went through the internal stage process of complaint and have now reported the Solicitors Regulation Authority to an external independent reviewer (Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution).

It is deeply concerning and disheartening to observe that a significant number of solicitors deliberately avoid providing legal services to individuals with disabling mental health conditions, even when these individuals possess normal intelligence. This deplorable trend can be attributed to the persistent stigma and discrimination surrounding mental health, coupled with the unjust perception that individuals with such conditions are not to be taken seriously. Consequently, it is alarmingly common for those with mental health conditions or disabilities to be subjected to notably substandard legal services from solicitors. These individuals, who are among the most vulnerable clients in need of support, become deliberate targets of grossly inadequate legal representation. Such substandard services perpetuate a cycle of exploitation, neglect, and a denial of justice for those with mental health conditions or disabilities.

The SRA says, as the largest regulator of legal services in England and Wales, that its primary purpose is to protect the general public from harm and uphold the rule of law but it isn't doing either. Absolutely useless organisation which is unable to process information, or "join the dots". It is unable to follow process or policy. Loathed by lay people and professionals alike for good reason. It doesn't deserve one star and doesn't deserve the trust and confidence of the general public. Nightmare organisation, best avoided.

Should be called the Corrupt Solicitors Protection Authority, not fit for purpose, low grade inept officers.

Appalling organisation who always takes the side of the solicitor firm . They are a waste of time . They will always find against you if you are to report a complaint against a firm

I thought honestly thst the SRA would be able to be trustworthy..after all look who they are supposed to be ..instead they caused me immense trouble by going to the solicitors thst I has used in a magistrates court case that I a seventy year old lone widow woman had been forced to go through because of the defamatory falsehoods of two very elderly men who I had helped one my late husbands friend and architectural work colleague whose son and daughter made malicious defamatory falsehoods to the police about me and the other an elderly man who I was as a bereavement counsellor having done some telephone freebie counsellor for some years before...I was actually arrested due to these lies to the police and other bodies and put into custody and after a two and a half years court case charged although completely innocent...Whilst serving my sentence I went to the SRA to ask them to try to get my case paperwork back from.one of the solicitors I had used who had refused to return it even my personal medical private records and etc...I mentioned that I had used four solicitors from different companies for the case because I lacked faith in the very first one u had contacted whilst in custody and the SRA contacted all four so none of them would work for me and it insights them to contact the CPS and for me to be called back to court for a far worse scenario.They like all ombudsman are there simply to placate the public to make them believe that something is being seen to be done when it is not...they turned all defence solicitors against me when I needed one and couldn't give a care when I rang them to tell them seeming like very young inexperienced call centre people working from home to me Terrible experience t
Truly ruined my remaining years of existence.
