So i had this situation. , i called CNA and they told me to just give them the what the client wanted. In my case, it was the qb file. The told me it was not worth a malpractice lawsuit....
i did as i was instructed, but truthfully, i felt CNA was looking out for them self and not me... They were no help at all in helping me get the money from the client. and it was a substantial sum. The were a help in averting a law suit which they would have had to defend.
ultimately, i did not give them the qb file, which we created from bank stmts , but i did give them a paper GL.
i never got paid...
so i am not telling you not to follow their instructions, For i did , but it got me no where.

I would recommend contacting your professional insurance carrier. They usually have samples of disengagement letters.

I have a client that we are not doing business anymore. He won't pay me the balance on his account until I return all his papers. Which is 4 full draws of an file cabinet. I am aware that I have to retain my work papers for 6 years. But he won't pay me unless he gets all the papers. Is there a letter he could sign to relieve ? Of saving the papers. ???
I appreciate any advise anyone can provide me.
Thanks Ken
