I think that you would be very hard pushed to "prove" this, unless there was some supporting evidence, like a recording of the telephone conversation. The best thing to do is inform your solicitor of all the details. But I don't hold out much hope - you should always get important things in writing. Not as convient as the phone but you have something to show that it "happened". This comes down to your word against their's.
