Hi,
I've called that number, to LSC, 0800 085 6643, a couple of times now, but it's busy.
I've earlier called LSC/CLA, and then I've been told to use their calculator, on the web, to find out if I'm eligable for legal aid.
And I've found out that I am, since I'm unemployed.
(I called after Mr. Mooney told me to do this).
So we're really past that stage.
I know I am eligable for legal aid, so I don't really understand why there should be a problem then.
Cant Stephenson get the reference-number from LSC then, or where should I call, Tom at CLA said it wasn't to do with them.
Thank you in advance for your reply!
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog

Hi,
I called CLA now, on 0845 345 4345, and spoke with Tom.
He says that they haven't got anything to do with eligability for Legal aid, then I have to call LSC on 0800 085 6643.
So now I'm trying to call them, and I'm going to send an update later.
Yours sincererly,

Dear Mr Ribsskog,
For the avoidance of doubt, we are not declining you assistance.
To reiterate, I confirm that there is two stage process which much be completed before you can receive the benefit of legal aid.
Initially, you must be financially eligible for legal aid. Secondly, your claim must have sufficient prospects of success to justify pursuing it further.
In relation to your financial eligibility it is necessary for you to contact Community Legal Advice (CLA) and they will ask you a series of questions to determine your eligibility.
The number for CLA is the same number that has been previously provided, 0845 345 4345.
If the CLA confirm that you are financially eligible for legal aid then you will be provided with a reference number and referred to a law firm to assess the merits
of your claim. I must stress that I am not refusing to provide you with assistance, I am merely attempting to clarify that I cannot commence investigations until you receive a reference number and I
trust you will now contact CLA accordingly.
I therefore suggest you contact Community Legal Advice as directed on several occasions.
Kind regards

Hi again,
I just remembered something more, sorry that I send two e-mails after eachother.
Is it that you don't want to help me, since I'm not a Brit, and don't know the legal-aid system by heart?
Then I can tell you, that Norway, where I'm from, are in the EEA.
And the UK has signed the EEA-agreement, and this means that I have the same rights, as if I was an EU or UK citizen, when I live in the UK.
I want you to please clearify why your company don't want to help me with my case.
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog

Hi,
that's not how I understand it.
The LSC said that Mr. Mooney, gave me the wrong directions.
And I don't like that your company don't want to help me, since it takes long time to get the reference-number, (due to some problems with the correspondence or errors from your company)
But I'll contact Ms. Beach then, and take it from there.
But please don't be to surprised if I send a complaint to the ones responsible for the legal aid solicitors database, about you company.
Best regards,

Dear Mr. Ribsskog,
I have read the chain of e-mails and am satisfied that aside from any misunderstanding, Tom has acted appropriately at all times in his guidance.
It is necessary for you to speak directly to Community Legal Advice on the number provided below by Ms. Beach who will assist you with your enquiry.

Hi,
I called Stephensons now, on 02942 777 777, and was told that you are the line-manager of Mr. Tom Mooney.
the LSC says that Mr. Tom Mooney, made an error.
And due to this error, a misunderstanding occured.
And now, Mr. Mooney doesn't want to correspond with me any longer, (due to the misunderstanding caused by the error).
I was wondering if there are any other solicitor, that could help me with my Legal Aid-case please?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Yours sincerely,

Hi,
now the solicitor doesn't want to correspond with me any longer, since his error, caused a misunderstanding.
I want to complain about three law firms, who hasn't acted professionally, after I've contacted them, asking them to represent me, in a legal aid-case.
Who is responsible for administrating the solicitors-database, for the legal aid-programme.
Is it you at the LSC or is it Community Legal Advice?
Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr Ribsskog,
You are correct the Legal Services Commission does administer legal aid
in England and Wales. We are made up of the Community Legal Service for
civil cases such as employment and the Criminal Defence Service. We fund
legal services on behalf of the government.
Community Legal Advice is funded by the LSC in order to provide an
initial free and confidential advice service. There are general and
specialist advisors who will determine the level of help you need and if
necessary sign post you to an appropriate supplier of legal services in
your area, such as Stephensons.
From the emails below and as my colleague said earlier, we believe the
solicitor you were communicating with made an error in directing you to
us, the administrative body the LSC instead of the advice service.
It appears that Mr Thompson may have misunderstood your query as we do
not usually receive referrals at this stage of a case. The LSC does deal
with individual cases if they progress to a certain level where you may
need to go to court. We are responsible for administering the use of
public funds to fund a case. This would be communicated to us by a
solicitor once you get to that stage.
We apologise for the confusion. We do have a service than can help you
and you can call them on 0845 345 4 345 or you can find out more by
visiting the website
http://www.communitylegaladvice.org.uk/. There is a
useful call back and text service available as well, ( see the website
for details.)
We cannot help you any further at this stage please direct your queries
to Community Legal Advice. There is also a function on the website to
find alternative solicitors in your area.
Yours Faithfully

Hi,
sorry that I'm sending many e-mails.
But it says on Wikipedia, that:
*Today, legal aid in England and Wales is administered by the **Legal
Services Commission
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_Services_Commission>
*
*
*
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_aid*
* <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_aid>So, please stop saying that
it is
Community Legal Advice, who has the Legal Aid-programme.*
*
It says clearly on Wikipedia, that it is the LSC who has this
programme, and
I've listened to Mr. Thompson at Liverpool LSC.*
*
Please stop covering up for Stephensons like you were 'mob'!*

Yours sincerely,*
