My solicitor has requested a large lump sum today to cover my FDR next week. I don't know why but this has landed me right in it and they refuse to do instalments or any other option.

I'm now left having to represent myself. I've contacted McKenzie Friends - no-one has got back to me. I've written to court to explain and ask for some guidance, no response. I contacted CAB, no-one that can help between now and Wednesday. Urrgh.

I basically have no clue where to start. I've just about managed to scramble off replies to questionnaires. My previous solicitor who was useless is still holding on to all my files too!!!(even though she has no reason to. Lots of non-disclosure from the other side too so it's going to go well I'm sure.

After a bit of googling, I know I have to prepare a position statement but that's about it!

Am I going to get totally slaughtered next week??? Has anyone been through this that can offer some advice?

I'd be so grateful if anyone could share their experiences of self representation at FDR.

Thank you in advance! X
