O.k guys,
This is not some kind of set up. I'm a sole trader in South West Wales and currently have a rather large company of solicitors hunting me down. I don't have a web site, only use a trade name to advertise in the pages and in 23 years haven't claimed on public liability, trusted my brokers advice and recommendations, and therefore didn't examine the exclusions as closely as I should have.
As previously noted, I am extremely grateful for your advice (you won't believe the relief it has given me) but am perturbed by the "conspiracy theorists". This kind of treatment from insurance companies is pretty sly and I guess by sticking together we can help each other beat the system.
Hoping this leaves the lads doing the research feeling that their efforts were very much appreciated by one of their own
Marc
