I would be really interested in seeing this latest letter from ACS, we have been in an ongoing back and forth battle with them since June 09, the last letter (lod) was sent by us early Oct and have had nothing back since.The CIU with the SRA have taken on my complaint though (although the complaint has been added to the thousands they already have). :0)

well, it has been a while since ACS sent the 3rd letter demanding the reduced amount of £350, that one, like all the others was replied to with LOD and since, nothing. I'm wondering what the next move will be. And find it v odd that the last letter demanded the £350 be paid within 21 days blahh blahh blahh but it has been at least 6 weeks, if not more since they sent it!

Odd hey? Have you acctually recieved a letter yourself or are you simply going on things you read on sites such as this?

The letter says DOWNLAODING, but ok then

First letter my dad got was asking for £500, it then went up to £1000 and now it's down to £350. Surely if they were serious the amount would be going up?

Hiya, My dad got his 3rd letter yesterday upuntil now he has ignored the matter, not sent any responses etc, i have this morning put together a lod, asking if they have any proof other than the IP to bring it forward, informing them i will charge £25 for every letter i have to deal with from them in a counter claim etc, i also got a little worked up when writing and put the following - I write with reference to the above and the letters I have received from you with regards to ‘alleged copy write infringement’. You should take this letter as formal notice that I deny all allegations made in your poorly put together ‘template’ letters, and will continue to deny and will not be paying any sum of money. As I am sure you are aware having proof something is linked to my IP address is not conclusive evidence that I, or someone in my household downloaded the material, you admit as much in your letters! I strongly deny breaching any part of the CDPA 1988 which you allege were breached using my connection. You may also like to note that section 16(2) requires me to have directly infringed copy write or to have authorised someone else to do so, none of which I have done, which is why you have no proof I did! Never have I possessed a copy of the work referred to in your letters, nor have I distributed it or authorised anyone else to do so using my connection, if you have proof to the contrary (other that the ‘IP address’ rubbish that we both know would not stand up in court) then please feel free to make me aware of it! Failing to not secure my wireless access is not a crime, and as you know, or should, having an unsecured router leaves it open for anyone to access, without my permission, to carry out any form of illegal activity. Again, if you have solid proof I, or a member of my household carried out the alleged act please bring the proof forward. Any further letters you send to me will incur a £25 fee, this will be added to my counter claim Civil procedure rules (specifically section 52, rule 48.6) for harassment and being wrongly accused of something you have NO proof I committed, Please be informed that if you wish to pursue this matter, I will seek to recover all my costs to the maximum permitted by the Civil Procedure Rules. You should also take note that this is not a template letter, therefore you have no reason to write to me again dismissing it as such, nor do you need to respond with more empty threats or accusations that I have simply used ‘help forums’, nor do I need to be informed of your ‘successful cases’ where you were awarded ‘£16,000’, we all know you have never won a case that was defended, you have merely won when the defendant failed to show up and contest in any way, you have simply won by default! I will not fail to turn up should you be stupid enough to take this case to court and will take great pleasure in seeing it dismissed due to lack of evidence! Yours sincerely Eould be grateful for any advice, if anyone thinks ive gone a little too far etc
