Re: Have you received a letter from Davenport Lyons?

They have never responded to any of my questions, just asked more of their own. This time I have had the request for router info/passwords etc and they are asking me to implicate a third party! Do i actually need to provide this information? Is that not an invasion of privacy?

At the moment I feel that this is going to go on forever, how can I get rid of these people. I have genuinly done nothing wrong and feel I am being persecuted, why should I have to pay Lawdit or anyone else to defend my innocence?

Does anyone know of a genuine legal statement that I can respond with to get them off my back. There are lots of useful posts on here and it has been a great support but it is difficult to decide which advice I should follow as not sure if all posts are accurate and there is lots of conflicting advice, for example I would definately not ignore the letter as I don't wish to end up with a default judgement!!
They have absolutely no right to the information they are asking of you. They are simply fishing for information that they hope might make their case stronger. You do not have to respond to their questions. I wouldn't expect them to respond to yours either.

That said, do not just ignore this as you don't want a default judgement if they do decide to go to court.

Others have successfully written to DL in a way that has made them go away. I believe there are examples in this thread. I appreciate it's quite long now but I think you really ought to read it all as you may get useful pointers from it.
