Thank you Sir I had read your reply and had thought about using it !! ( hoping that you wouldn't mind ..under the circumstances ....) I will be writing back over the week-end , but without Special Delivery costs this time . I do feel very sorry for the large amount of people out there that are just sitting at home worrying themselves sick ...i know i was until i found this site , i feel saddened that many people will have had the first letter and just sent off a cheque surely this form of speculative invoicing should be made illegal, if it not already ...... How the regulative boards have not seen fit to stamp this practice out is frankly beyond me.Has anyone had a letter from the SRA saying that ACS:LAW are now under investigiton or this that too much to ask . Thanks again to the forum administors and many contributors for helping to at least help put my mind at rest .

Hello ....... I have been following this thread for almost 5 weeks now ..Yes you guessed it ....I received a letter from ACS:LAW saying i had downloaded Scooter and demanding over £500 ...After some panic and genuine worry and did some digging and thats how i found this site and the forum therein . I read the thread through and it really did put my mind at rest ..i dutifully downloaded the LOD and sent it off ( Special Delivery) and i actually thought that was the end of it ..then on Saturday i had a second letter with the demand now down to £425 . I have no idea how to go about replying as i have no legal background at all ....I am completely innocent and i certainly go with the view that if innocent why should i pay a penny ....but the letter and it's terminlogy are surely designs to confuse the lay men . Would it be too much to ask for another letter formatt to be published which i could alter ( as the first LOD ) ...I know it says just repeat the first letter but surely i should address the points they raise in relation to the CPR36.10 ...... Please help ......
