I have had a PM about these people, so if you have been affected, let's stick together. Thanks for the message.
I have not had a letter for 3 weeks now after my last letter asking why my questions from my previous letter had not been answered or my offer of £10 declined. I quoted time and date delivered and the signatory - the guy who owns this outfit in my last letter - which I am sure would not look good in court. They are not following the "Protol" for this, and using generic repeated bullying letters really isn't good for their case.
It's very easy for me to say they are attempting to scare money out of people, not claim any reasonable royalties that may be due.
The only unique thing about the last letter was my name and address - everything else was completely generic - even the Dear Sir (which is wrong). That says to me "numbers game".
Please do mention if you have been affected.
Stay strong. Asking for a settlement before court action does not mean anything, they have to prove the reasonable royalty.
