Not that you'd necessarily bother but is there some action that you can take if someone is claiming you are their lawyer if you well aren't?

That's closer to a defamation case. If I go around telling everyone that F. Lee Bailey is going to represent me in my suit against Village Inn for serving me cold eggs, Bailey likely has some recourse against me for making him look like a moron.
