West Lothian
Readers from West Lothian have been in touch to say that some employees have received unsolicited letters from the council - in the past day or so.
The letters invite people to accept settlement offers that have previously been rejected - and significantly they have not been copied to Stefan Cross Solicitors.
Apparently, the council is simply re-stating its original settlement offer - but again without explaining how the figures have been calculated.
If that is the case, then there's a very big risk that people are having the wool pulled over their eyes.
Our advice is not to give in to these tactics - and to hold out for a fair settlement of your claim.
If the council has nothing to hide, they should be dealing direct with Stefan Cross Solicitors - as people's named representative.
So, it's highly suspicious and unprofessional for the council to be behaving in this way.
