Hi
I am hoping for some outcome advice as to people that have had dealing with Palmer Biggs legal
,after receiving my first bundle of papers from them earlier this year
and more recently a draft court claim form that related to a large German based car company
and their intellectual property rights ,
A Google search of them for advice led me to this site and I have found many interesting threads relating to people who found them selves in very similar situations to the one I am in with Palmer Biggs
(it also seems that PB have been successful in having lots of other search results withdrawn from Google results )
with threads dating back to 2011 ,
so far I have not responded to any letters or made any contact with PB
firstly due to me not being able to comply with the quite big list of demands
regarding information they require regarding sources of the items I was selling
and details of sales profits and stock location etc ,
They also demanded payment of £1000 plus that felt like quite a big blow ,
another reason I have done nothing is that to be quite honest I felt this firm could be anybody
simply sending out demands and scary looking legal letters hoping that people will pay up without much of a fight
and if what I was doing regarding this car company was illegal
then I would have expected contact via a knock on the door from the relevant agency policing such matters
rather than a bill from a solicitors that appears to have an office above an estate agents,
The items they seemed to have taken issue with were what I would consider a side line
and not the main core stock of semi related items offered on eBay
after receiving the letter from PB the items they took issue with have been withdrawn from sale
and removed from our possession and premises .
Although there are a good number of years old threads I have yet to find anybody come back
and say I did nothing and nothing has ever happened ,
To be quite honest I would be willing to negotiate an end to the matter
if I could do so on terms I could comply with
am worried about once replying then being on the hook so if any body has either negotiated
an end of not heard anything since them I would be grateful for some insight and advice
