That letter is not as bad as it looks. Usually.

Letters, notices and appeals are the single most common reason people contact Lexarox Legal. We help you read what has been sent, understand what it means, and respond in the way that gives you the best outcome.
WHAT IS INCLUDED

What we help with.

If a letter has arrived and you are not sure what to do, we have probably seen one like it. The most common ones:
  • HMRC: assessments, penalty notices, enquiry letters, VAT investigations, debt collection, status determination
  • Council: council tax demands, parking penalty appeals, licensing, housing, planning enforcement
  • Landlord and tenant: Section 21, Section 8, deposit disputes, repair notices, rent arrears letters
  • Employer letters: disciplinary invitations, grievance responses, dismissal letters, settlement offers
  • Regulatory bodies: ICO data protection, Companies House, SRA, immigration, professional regulators
  • Debt collectors and credit notices: default notices, statutory demands, county court claims, bailiff threats
  • Other companies: pre-action protocol letters, contract termination, breach of contract claims
  • And other formal correspondence that needs a careful, qualified reply
WHO THIS IS FOR

Who this is for.

Anyone (individual or business) who has received a letter or notice and is not sure what to do.
People who have already tried to deal with it themselves and want to escalate or appeal properly.
Clients who do not want to ignore it (always a bad idea) and do not want to pay £350 an hour just to have it read.
HOW IT WORKS

Our process.

01
Free 20-Minute Consultation
Tell us what has arrived. Bring the letter (or send a scan ahead). We will tell you whether it is serious, what your options are, and whether we are the right people to help.
02
Written scope and fixed quote
If we can help, we send you a short proposal: what we will do (read, respond, appeal, negotiate), how long it will take, and what it will cost.
03
Drafting and submission
We draft the response, appeal or letter on your behalf and send it for your approval before it goes anywhere. You always see the final version first.
04
Follow-through
If the matter has further rounds (a reply, an appeal hearing, a negotiation), we agree the scope for the next step before doing it. No open-ended billing.
COMMON QUESTIONS

FAQs

Probably not, but the sooner you call, the more options you have. The free 20-minute call will tell you where you stand.

Yes. We have an exceptional track record on HMRC penalty appeals, particularly for self assessment, late filing, late payment, and reasonable-excuse appeals. Bring the penalty notice to the free call.

Only if you want them to. Sometimes a letter on our letterhead changes the tone of the conversation; sometimes it is better to reply in your own name with our help in the background. We will advise on which approach works best for your situation.

Court representation in the UK is a reserved activity, so we would refer you to a regulated barrister from our network and stay involved in the background if that is useful. You only pay for the work that is actually needed.
