I keep on getting calls from far away places claiming to represent "accident helpline" or similar.


Whilst I could report them, it would do little as they originate "out of area"


However I am now cataloging responses from people when they get the calls


So far I have heard the following:


"Oh thank god you called, I had an accident only the other day, it was the morning after a night out which got a bit messy to be honest, and after 10 pints of lager and a really hot chicken vindaloo I woke up the next day and had an accident in the car..." "Really sir what happened and who was to blame". "Well I blame myself really, god it was horrible, I can still see it now, but I just turned out of the drive when I followed through..." "Sorry sir but what do you mean 'followed through'" "You know man, I took a dump in my pants" ....."click, brrrrr"



"Oh thank god you called, I was walking through work the other day and they were cleaning the floor in reception, and I didn't see a notice, before I knew it my legs went out from under me and I broke my arm". "Sir I think you have a good case here, can I take some notes, who was the company involved". "Accident helpline, I work there on telesales, can I really use you to get compensation from the company you represent". "Click, brrrrr"


There must be more ?

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
    • It's Inner London. You could move somewhere else?
    • They are people.  That's how people often behave.
