My first Solicitor Messed Up My AR Case, please be careful for hiring any solicitors and don't forget to review their presentation for sending to the home office.
I really appreciate Zimba's and other member's quick response on all of my previous posts, i am writing further information for my case here that may help someone or someone may assist me.
I am sole proprietor and invested around 88k(5k at the time of initial application and rest of them up to the extension date) but case worker misunderstood the nature of business and treat it company accounts. They refused my extension application as HO objects my NAME doesn't appear opposite to the investment or investment doesn't show my name.
My accountant confirmed that 88K was invested by myself and provided breakdown of each transactions along the reference letter.
HO actually accepted that there are 88k funds has been invested but not sure who have invested.
Since my name was appeared on all pages of Financial Statements as ABC trading as XYZ Services ( provided 4 years accounts) and business status is sole trader, neither a limed company nar a partnership so obviously no other organisation or person have interest in the business except the owner ( sole trader) so all figures including CAPITAL INTRODUCED were relate to the owner of the business that were further verified by the personal and business bank statements as money were transferred as Capital Introduced.
In sole trader accounts , money came from third party will come under CREDITORS as there is no option for investment in sole trader accounts except the owner of the business.
Most important point, HO accepted 5k investment at the time of initial application but the accounts format were same as my name didn't appear in front of capital introduced as my full name was mentioned on all pages of financial statements.
There is contradiction on home office decision as one document they are accepting as investment but other document in same formate rejected.
I am the sole owner of the business and that any investments in the business MUST therefore come from me not third party.
My case was very strong and i was 100% confident while applying AR that HO may overturn their decision but unfortunately (my bad luck) my solicitor messed up my case and didn't raise most important points at AR.I hired a solicitor from Manchester ( Solicitors) and explained him everything. My accountant (accountant is my cousin) specifically told him that what points need to be raised in AR application. Accountant also provided supporting letter that need to be sent with the AR application. Unfortunately Solicitor didn't raise any points ,he also didn't bother to forward accountant letter to clarify above points.
I received second refusal from the home office with solicitors presentation, i was shocked after reviewing solicitor's presentations that was totally irrelevant to the objection made by the HO.I can even prepare a better case as compare to solicitor's letter. He took one £1000 fee and just sent two paragraph's letter to HO.
I believe Solicitors deliberately messed with my case in order to squeeze more money in JR or in court.
I straight away changed my solicitor and hired another well known solicitor from Liverpool.I feel confident with new Solicitor and he assured me that my case is very strong as case worker misunderstood the nature of business .
I spent around £5000 and case has been lodged in court.
I will update in future if i have any further information regarding my case.
Best of luck
