Ah yes, that's the BBC Radio Four 'You and Yours' programme item. You'll find one of our community members also interviewed in that programme. There's a recording of it available on our 'In the media' page. Good luck with your research, but I think you would save yourself a lot of time if you checked what is available on the site first

Thank you for the link to a BBC Watchdog article about Davenport Lyons from 2008. It is now 2009, and the law firm we are dealing with is ACS:Law. So not only is it old news, it's about the wrong law firm. I suggest you have a look around our Reading room at **EDITED**. You'll even find the article you are referring to linked from there, among the more up to date information about the current situation. Also, you are welcome to stop by for a chat in our chatroom at **EDITED** if you would like to educate yourself properly about the issue, or if you'd like to talk to our community about their efforts to get this issue more attention. I just wanted to make sure you guys stop giving people wrong or outdated information, and I wanted to make sure they know where to find decent information and help instead. I won't be responding to further PMs or posts but can be found on aforementioned community website.

I wish I could help you further but I can't actually understand what you are trying to say - try English. Please stop giving people wrong information - they could very well end up in court if they base their decisions on some of the info in this thread. Edit - you're welcome to come and get some proper information yourself, might help.

Of course... after all you have been researching this for all of a few hours, whereas I and the people in our community have been researching this and getting these letters for almost 2 months now. Dream on. Oh, and learn to spell.

Because DL handed over their cases to ACS:Law.

As the admin of the beingthreatened.com website, a site that was set up specifically to help people who have received these letters from ACS:Law, I am shocked and worried at the large amount of BAD information/advice floating around this forum thread. I suggest that people who receive these letters do not ignore them and use the website at beingthreatened.com to inform themselves instead of the information in this thread. There are many people contributing to the website and many hours of collective research have gone into providing the best possible information and advice. It is also where recipients of these letters can convene in a chatroom to discuss things together and help each other. The letters from ACS:Law are NOT a debt, and NOT a debt collection issue. While I realise that some of the posters here are experts in debt collection matters, they are certainly NOT giving the right advice concerning copyright law. And this is most definitely a copyright law matter.
