Andrew Cox, partner at Weightmans that called me Mr Ethical

I worked at Weightmans solicitors as head of debt recovery. I was basically told to do illegal work for HSBC or be sacked. They were illegally adding 16.4% to debts immediately they were instructed to cover their fees. Often as much as £6,000.  I reported them to the Law Society so they sacked me anyway.

We went to mediation, they paid me large sum of money and I signed a Compromise Agreement, with a gagging clause. I decided to breach this when I found out  Weightmans were still  adding the charges after the SRA adjudication.

The Law Society/Solicitors Regulation Authority  upheld, my complaint that the charges were illegal but took no action.
