Pasted in below is my email reply (long awaited) from SRA.......................
Please accept my apologies for the delay in providing a substantive update to your previous emails.
I can confirm that enquiries were ongoing to establish whether the “M. SHWARTS” noted on the court application documents is a solicitor or not as there are several qualified solicitors of the name ‘M Schwartz’ (and other slight variations of spelling) that could be employed or instructed by Debt Enforcement & Action Ltd. In the first instance the enquiries were to establish if the spelling on the claim forms is the correct spelling of the solicitor’s name or whether it is a misspelling that has been repeated by the use of a template document.
These enquiries were crucial as I need to establish whether this matter should be dealt with under the Solicitors Code of Conduct (if the individual is a solicitor) or whether the matter should be treated as a criminal investigation under Solicitors Act 1974 ss. 20-21 and s.24 or s.14 Legal Services Act 2007.
I can now confirm that I received a response from Civil Enforcement Ltd, the parent company of Debt Enforcement & Action Ltd, a short time ago today which confirmed that the solicitor in question is Michael SCHWARTZ, SRA id 118966. I can confirm that this person is a solicitor currently on the Roll of Solicitors of England & Wales and does hold a current Practising Certificate. Furthermore Civil Enforcement Ltd has informed me that they have written to the Court informing them that there was a spelling error on the claims documents issued by referring to the solicitor as “SHWARTS”.
As such I will be today referring the reports that the SRA has received regarding these issued claim forms to the Supervision team of the SRA to consider any breaches of the SRA Code of Conduct.
I hope that you find this update informative.
Your sincerely

Interesting to see it in writing that CEL is the parent company of DEAL ! The SRA ID Number supplied in my email does show That Mr Schwartz is a recognised solicitor. The form N1 Statement of Truth did not in my case give the " name of claimants's solicitors firm " I don't seem to be able to find the address of this solicitors practice when searching online, could be in-house for CEL/DEAL ?
Update
Michael David Schwartz
Darryl Ingram & Co
1-3 Heriot Road
London
NW4 2EG
England
Searching on the firm of Darryl Ingram and Co on the Law Society page it shows the names of four solicitors, Mr Schwartz is not one of them, he must have moved to pastures new.
