Is it possible to get free legal advice anywhere to fight the Bristol and WEst's shortfall claim. I think I've gone as far as I can go and the stress is getting to me now. My poor kids think I've turned into a monster!!!

Answers

First port of call should be your local CAB. Ask if they have a duty adviser, or if there is a local Law Centre, or if you're even entitled to free legal representation (the latter will depend upon income).

Make sure the legal adviser you see if au fait with recent case law!
