Just to say thanks for all the posting on this site. Spent a few nights having a good read. When that letter dropped on the mat, my world fell with a crash. Sent LOD and loved the One Show on Tuesday.

Hi Guys

 

I've been following this forum for a while and here goes my history. I don't do P2P stuff, but I received the first letter at the beginning of June. I replied using one of those templates, even though I modified it slightly.. then the second letter came along at the beginning of July, which I again replied denying it, saying that their letters were tantamount to harrasing and that further correspondence would be treated as harrasment....

Now I've receieved a third letter with a Part 36...

The amount is lower than in the initial letters, but even though I am not gonna pay for something I haven't done.

Guys, what do you think these people are after?

Can you give a little bit more info was ACS or GM was it for music or a 'film'? Just curious if it is the same as everyone elses.

[mrwhite123]

Hi captain-123

 

it was ACS and related to a porn film..... so probably very similar to the rest of you......

laptop

 

The ip address of the laptop and the one detailed in the letter will be somthing like 82.110.108.xxx

 

The ip address for the router will look somthing like 192.168.0.1 (default)

 

This is incorrect.

 

The IP adddress they indicate is the IP address assigned to you by your ISP and as such will be your routers public address.

[Shaggy123]

Although i'm sure I didn't download the track I have no way of proving it as my PC gave up on me months ago and I had to replace it with a spanking new Laptop. Will they be able to take this away even though I purchased it in March 2010 and this supposed download upload happened last year. As I only received the letter yesterday they can not accuse me of ditching the evidence either. I just do not want them to take away my new laptop!

 

The evidence lies with your public IP address, not your PC.

[Shaggy123]

How come it is the same album mos the annual 2010 and all in the november december time also how can they fine you when you have only downloaded it and not uploaded it smells a bit fishy to me:evil:

 

If you downloaded through torrents it you shared it and thus have uploaded it also.

[Shaggy123]

i know, but i'm sure people would appreciate they're pc's to look untampered with.

 

There's nothing makes your pc look tampered with like a bit of disk cleaning software on it does.

 

Sets alarm bells ringing straight away.

NO I DID NOT RING THEM, I WENT TO SEE MY SOLICITOR, AND HE SAYS THAT ITS VERY STRANGE THAT ANOTHER SOLICITOR, IS SOLICITING IN THIS WAY, AND THE PAPER THAT THE LETTER CAME ON, IS NOT A PROPER LETTERHEAD, I AM SEEING MY MP ON TUESDAY AND HE MAY GET MORE MPS INVOLVED TO BRING TO HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT

[kaminskis]

my solicitor says it smell like rotten fish, and if they want to pursue it further, he will back me up all the way, as he wants to know how they came to a decision on the amount they are charging for lost fees, bringing the case to court, paperwork etc, how can they say its £300/£375 or more for work thats not even been done yet, lets see what my mp says on tuesday

[kaminskis]

Welcome to last year.

Complaints received regarding Gallant Macmillan LLP (SRA No. 443499) - WhatDoTheyKnow

[Shaggy123]

NO I DID NOT RING THEM

 

I'd suggest first of all you get your story straight.

 

also by admitting over the phone I have no choice but to pay within 21 days or go to court

 

So did you phone them or not? It's difficult for people to help if they're struggling with the facts.

So if I go to see a solicitor for free legal advice he will give me a link to Wikipedia.

 

I think I'll pass.

 

Before I did a google when I got my letter I called up the CAB and they advised me to just pay up even though I said I hadn't done it. Glad I didn't take that advice.

[Shaggy123]

where do i go to get the template for LOD for this matter?

 

Loads of references for LOD templates in earlier pages in this forum. Read them but if you use them you will only get a letter back saying something like "....we find your reply hard to accept as it resembles a Tempate found on the internet..."

Although its not illegal to use a template, why give them another reason to enter into a dialogue with you. Take the advice offered on "The One Show" 27th July and reply in your own words. (Check out the show on BBC iPlayer or on YouTube)

I'm looking forward to receiving my letter rejecting my LOD for being a template. My second letter will ask under which basis in law they refuse to accept it as it fully complies with the code of practice which their letter of claim didn't. I then have the same right to reject their letter of claim as that too was a template.
