Hi,(posted 7951 days ago)If they have passed the letter to their solicitors then that solicitor has to deal only with your solicitor so I would suggest that the same applies if you have told the bank that they must deal through your solicitor they should comply. Do be warned however that we originally started out with a solicitor and Bradford & Bingley's solicitor called him about 10 times a day I allege to deliberately run up costs for us, we are now dealing direct with their solicitor using the advice given on this site, blissfully quiet for 4 months now, just waiting for the next letter to drop and then I have a whole new load of questions to ask them.
