ACS:Law Boss: I Feel Defeated And Could Go Bankrupt. Looks like AC is owing quite a lot of money. My heart bleeds. http://torrentfreak.com/acslaw-boss-i-feel-defeated-and-could-go-bankrupt-101003/

This is why BT asked for an adjournment, so they can contest the order when it is heard in January. So fingers crossed, they might put up a good fight.

Claiming Part of Deposit
piglette replied to piglette's topic in Residential and Commercial lettings/Freehold issues
OK I will try that and see what happens!! I must admit, the lady I have been talking to doesn't seem to have much of a clue. She just seems to think that you can't give away the tenanat's money to the landlord, as no one has OK'd it. Perhaps this is why she suggested the small claims court in the first place. It seems strange to say please sue us though. -
Claiming Part of Deposit

Right, I hope I get this right. They say there is no point of law, but they could release the whole amount to the ex tenant if we agreed or some to us if the tenant agreed but as the tenant has not replied they can't do that. -
It seems that the GM/MoS/ Plusnet case is being postponed until 11 January 2011, as BT are saying that they want a "test" case and will try and fight GM's Norwich Pharmacal Order. Hopefully they will try and prove that it is the wrong precedent to use in these cases.

Claiming Part of Deposit

I have heard from the agents!! 1. They have the deposit 2. They got it back from the DPS around May 2010 3. They say they can't do anything until they either get agreement from both parties or a court tells them to pay out the money. I hope this helps and thanks again. -
Apparently it has been adjourned until January 2011.

Claiming Part of Deposit

I have just talked to the agent again and am now totally confused!!! They say they think they have written a cheque to the dispute service, why would they do this if they say that the dispute service did not want to know?? They say the person who knows will be in tomorrow, so perhaps I may be enlightened then. Is the dispute service different to the deposit scheme? Why would they write a cheque to them if the deposit scheme already had the money? Thanks so much for your help, I am sorry to seem so moronic over this.. -

The agent seems to think that they need to check with the ex-tenants, who won't reply, which is why we have an impasse. They suggested we should go to small claims to get the money, but I thought that was the idea of a deposit. -
My friend's girlfriend was one of AC's 'victims'. She was accused of downloading hard porn and could not stop crying. She had three 'threatening' letters and in the end paid to stop the harrassment. She is a junior doctor and was worried silly that the NHS would find out that she had been accused of watching such films.

I have just talked to the agent and they think they have it. They will check on Monday. -
Claiming Part of Deposit

Yes it was in a tenancy deposit scheme, but when the tenants left and the agent sent off the paperwork of damage, the scheme said the rent was over £2,000 so they could not deal with it. The rent was actually £2,200. -
We rented out our house a while back and the tenants gave a deposit to the agent. The tenants left about eighteen months ago and there was damage to the property which came to £680 less than the deposit. The agent still has the deposit and says that the ex-tenants have been contacted several times (they are in France) but they don't reply. How do we get our damage costs from the deposit? Thanks for any help.

Have just received a Part 36 letter dated 22 December 2009. This is the third letter from ACS Law although they have been told that we totally deny downloading hardcore American porn. Has anyone else received a letter recently?
-
It seems that Logistep have lost a case in Germany last month when someone was accused of downloading at a specific time. It seems that the defendant was with his mother when the download was supposed to have happened and his computer was turned off! So much for their "forensic computer analysis".
-
Sadly a lot of people will pay £500, when they have not even downloaded anything. A friend of mine's girlfriend had a letter from ACS accusing her of downloading hardcore American pornography and she was totally traumatised. She couldn't stop crying. I am sure she was absolutely innocent as she seemed the last person in the world who would look at porn. She just sent off a cheque, although she is not at all well off, as she was so frightened that someone would find out that she had been accused of watching porn.

I have just stumbled across something rather strange. I was looking up compromise agreements and stumbled across a website called ukcompromiseagreements.co.uk. Strangely enough the company who seems to own this webiste is ACS Law based at 18 Hanover Square, London!!! A little more research shows that the domain name was purchased by a Terence Tsang from Quorn and was purchased on 25 July 2009. Perhaps ACS Law is now becoming compromise agreement specialists, as well as offering their expertise in intellectual property rights.

I was just referring to the HMCS booklet ex302 which says "The court will send the claim form and the response pack to the defendant by first class post." So I assumed this would be the normal case.
-
Just a thought, perhaps the SRA lady was saying don't reply to any correspondence from ACS, she was not saying don't reply to a court claim, as the big brown envelope would not come from ACS, but the County Court.
-
I would have thought it was not a good idea to ignore the big brown envelope, I wonder why she suggested this. Her Majesty's Courts Service have a leaflet "A claim has been made against me - What should I do?" at http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/news/forms/docs/ex303_0406.pdf They say " Do not ignore it - act quickly. You have only a limited time in which to reply to the claim. If you do nothing, it could result in judgment being entered against you without further notice....." What will happen if I do nothing? "Judgment may be entered against you. This means that you will be ordered to pay the amount of the claim (or an amount to be decided by the court) and costs. The court will send you a copy of the order saying how much you owe......" If you defend the claim which I assume most people will, "The claimant must respond within 28 days of receiving the court’s notice of your defence." Also if it does go to court and the claim is less than £5,000 and so is considered a small claim HMCS say that there is no need to have a solicitor although you can take a spouse or friend along to the court, if you want someone to talk on your behalf.
-
D_arkTrooper said that he has received a large brown envelope from the Central London County Court in spite of the fact he had already sent two letters of denial to ACS. Personally I think ACS must be mad to send a claim out to someone who has already denied the accusation twice. As cerberusalert says the people to go for are those who have not bothered to reply at all.

If you type in "consultation on illicit file sharing" into Google it should be the first item. Appendix A has a list of questions that you can answer, but I assume you can submit other things as well. There was something on the BBC that the figures on illicit downloads were totally wrong and had been completely incorrectly calculated. It does seem something of a witch hunt, presumably good lobbying by the industry.
