This country doesn't have any entrapment laws, if you are tempted and get caught you get done

Re: Have you received a letter from Davenport Lyons?

ok I wrote that letter saying that someone could have gained an unauthorized access to my network and that there was more than just one computer with internet connection at the time when this alleged thing happened..

I'm gonna send it tomorrow so it would be nice if anyone has any more ideas? I can send my letter if anyone wants to have a look by PM.

It's up to the owner of the network / PC to make sure it's secure, so that excuse won't wash.

Re: Have you received a letter from Davenport Lyons?

If that happened to me, I wouldn't pay a single penny, they can carry me off to prison.

Re: Have you received a letter from Davenport Lyons?

you would not goto prison. You will end up in county court with a CCJ and if you stlll rrefuse to pay the court bailiffs will be round and take your stuff. Oh btw county court bailiffs can force entry iirc

My guess is they won't reply, they'll want as many people as possible to pay up with the least amount of trouble.
