Hi there. First time on these boards and could really use some advice. Recently received a letter from acs law demanding payment for downloading a (x-rated) title that I had never heard of. After reading all the stories and comments, I was all set to write out a LOD. It was then that I realised that the account holder is actually my sister, and she doesn't live at this address and didn't live here on the date of the alleged offence. Will this affect the LOD?

I really don't want to go to my sister about this (especially considering the nature of the file we're accused of downloading), so I was wondering if I could send a letter under my name? Or should I send the standard LOD with my sisters signature, which kind of implies that she stays here and has access to the Internet at this address (which she doesn't)? OR do i have to get her to write a letter saying that she doesn't live here, does not use the internet here and therefore couldn't have downloaded the file? But as she's the account holder, then she is responsible for any activity done by the people who do live here so then do we need to send a second letter from myself saying that I didn't download the file either?

Man, this is confusing! I'm not sure how much sense my post made but can someone please help!! Thanks in advance!
