F.E.A.R False Evidence Appearing Real not that im suggesting anything ACS do is false. its just a great Acronym

its my intention to produce my own letter and take this with me to the solicitor. that way they can ok it for me. should save a bit. i will find one that provides a free consultation. i have no problem in paying for an hour or so with any reputable solicitor. i will be denying it though. just want to make sure i cover all bases. i have to be honest. i think i am wasting my money paying though. i would just rather waste some now and not later if you take my meaning.

narkedoff has raised a good point. the threads are intersting arent they???;-)

hi moore1984 im a newbie too. just read the threads above. i have also registered a complaint with the SRA as advised in some threads. your fine is the same as mine. it states i downloaded this on 28 Aug. (no i didnt!!) dont share either. SRA stated i would still have to answer the letter. they however have receive high volume of calls today regarding this. im goingto look at watchdog soon. there are some superb tips on this site. i am going to get a consultation with a solicitor before sending a reply to this letter. hope this helps you in starting to unravel the mess.

LOL bet they dont get a strongly worded letter regarding that. interesting though seeing as i didnt actualy download any music or videos.

sound advice. its great that people like yourself provide information for people like me. thoroughly appreciated.

im no expert. i dread to think what could happen if an innocnet person admitted liability. if this is for one song. what about the same company or sister companies persuing you for other songs. could get expensive.

hi the general advice on a couple of sites is to give as basic a response as possible. keep it generic. although i am in no was legaly trained, i wouldnt personaly tell them i was away or even that the router was unsecure at this stage. its all ammo for later.

yes i have that statement page.

i have the same letter with the same bit scribbled out. i have contacted sky and they have snet out a generic reply stating they had to comply with the court order. its also worth noting that easynet is also sky. i genuinely believe the isp,s arent to blame here. they have to comply with a court order. it is strange though how only certain ones have been contacted and not all.

i have also received a letter from ACS Law. very shocked. a little scared and completely bewildered. there is some great advice here. thanks tp123. i have looked at this on wikipedia. here is what it says there- Digital Download Controversy In May/June 2010 this track became the latest digital content to be used by Uk solicitors ACS Law in a speculative invoicing campaign. ACS Law are already under investigation by the SRA (Solicitors Regulatory Authority) over this practice which was first instigated in the UK by Davenport Lyons (SRA investigation results pending). ACS Law use a Switzerland based company to harvest ip addresses of UK internet users and then target those users with claims for money running into several hundreds of pounds for alleged copyright infringements conducted over peer to peer networks. The ip addresses are presented to a Court in the UK under a Norwich Pharmacological Order and the ISP's holding those ip addresses are forced to reveal who their records state held the ip address at that snapshot in time. It is worth noting that this method of harvesting ip addresses remains wholly untested under UK law but has been outlawed in several EU member countries. Anybody contacted by ACS Law is advised to seek help either through a qualified solicitor or one of the many reputable self help sites available on the internet. BBC watchdog, Which magazine, several national newspapers, the SRA and other regulatory bodies are all aware of the conduct of this company. i will not be paying. no way. i will be using a template as a guide to create my own reply and send this vie recorded delivery soon. the scary thing is, if it wasnt for sites like this i would probably be scared into paying.
