Hey everyone,
I want ask a question but not about the house .
I just had the unexpected surprise of receiving a 2000 AUD invoice from a Solicitor and I am not sure how I should act. Few months ago,I have asked a relative who is a Solicitor to help me understanding an employment contract that I've received from a NSW company.And this solicitor ,it's not stranger to me ,she is my brother's sister-in-law.
so I was just asking him as a personal fever,I just asked her if she'd happy to look at my contract,which I did through email.Again,I received a positive answer from her and she asked to see my contract proposal and to receive my questions in writing.All that was nice and gentle and we never even discuss cost for service in any sort.A couple of phone calls later and very few emails later,I've made my decision to accept the proposed role and took my new job ,and thoroughly thanked my relative for her help.Few weeks after,a letter arrived from her law office (without any attached explanation or email)presenting and invoice of 2000 AUD for "Employment Contract Advice" without any breakdown detail...By the way,this letter has been sent to my previous previous address(2 houses ago!)and I really wonder how it finally ended into my hands.So should I pay this invoice ? Or can I just ignore it ?
I have not tell my brother or anyone in the family that I received this invoice .
Thank you for any advice.With best regards,
