I received a letter as well last week, have put together my standpoint on this at the thread '152047-davenport-lyons-going-against' for all who are interested.

I've never downloaded anything in my life. They are alledging the download of Test Drive Unlimited and claiming £565.00. I contacted them and explained that if anyone did download it, it would have been a 13 year old child. I told them I was on benefits and couldn't pay the amount. They instead sent out a payment schedule which would end up costing me £665! There have been numerous arguments, tears and tantrums in this house. I can't sleep or even eat properly.

The computer was a gift from his dad, I got broadband when I was working and subsequently re-negotiated my telephone so I could afford it. I've got a daughter who was 3 at the time of the alledged offence, she is lovely but demands my attention all the time. I've had people telling me that I'm a bad parent for not keeping a closer watch on my son, all I can say to that is his dad installed the computer and I assumed he knew what he was doing re internet settings etc. I'm not very computer literate myself. I can't believe I am the only person to be in this position. Before this happened I was more worried about internet grooming than this stuff.

If they get a judgment against me then what will happen? I have no property or assets. I can't work now my daughter is at school, rather than day nursery, as there is no out of school provision in this area and there are very few jobs that are only term-time and school hours! (No I don't feel I could be a childminder). They might as well take me to court for £16,000 as £665 because either amount is out of my reach. I'm a nervous wreck.

If the worse should come to the worse Zappa you show the judge that all you can afford is £1 per month.

Thanks for that, Conniff. I had a bit of a rant another internet forum, so they will probably try to sue me for libel as well! I had a real go at them.

This has got me so angry. I've calmed down now, although that could be due to sleep deprivation and low blood sugar. How do these people sleep at nights? Is this what they went to law school to do?

Of course it's what they trained for, money nothing else, just money. Why would anyone defend someone of a gross crime knowing they had committed that crime - money.

You could ask them to justify the amount, I think you are entitled to that at least, not some sum plucked out of the air.
