Took legal advice on Monday. The first thing he asked was I have checked the IP ADDRESS is mine (doh). He said the letter was a standard pre littigation letter. When I got home, I checked and it wasn't. However he is also going back with same correspondence as toxicdebt's solicitor. I'll let you know if we get a reply from DL. I would recommend anybody who gets one of these letters contacts a Solicitor (moreso toxicdebt's). Better to pay a percentage than the full amount.

Couldn't get an appointment until next Monday. I'll let you know how we get on. I'll be bringing up the fact they only give you 21 days to reply. Trying to panic and pressurise people into paying. DL wouldn't do that would they?

Penumbra Thanks. I'll have a look. My wife is going to take legal advice today, I'll let you know how she gets on.

I received a letter the other day saying I had downloaded a cd. It turns out my 11 year old daughter had done it, after her friends had told her how to and teased for not doing so already (isn't peer pressure wonderful). Going on this I presume it's my responsibility and I have to pay the 'fine'. If this is the case there will be a grounded 11 year old without a computer.

Hi Just new to the forum today. Thought I'd join to see if I can get any advice on issues that arise, or offer any to anyone that requires it.
