Gallant Macmillan trying to take me to court?

[Robbie]

my aunty did something in like 2001 and they just phoned her recently and because she confirmed her name they reactivated the court thingy :/

If the debt is over 6 years old, it becomes statute barred under Section 5 of the Limitation Act 1980

My mate got a letter like this, he really did download the album (forgot what it was) but it was scammers.
Apparently without 3 warnings from your internet provider no one can sue you for illegal downloading.
Just dont reply.

i know im late replying but it probably would have helped if you watched the real hustle.
If they're saying you have to pay something for doing something illegal and they're an independant company, ignore it. If it was actually from the government or something and you can check it was then you follow it up.

Can I ask, what happens if you do reply?

A friend of my mums was 'fighting our case' and sent Gallant MacMillan a letter in response of the original, asking to prove that it 100% was us who downloaded the album - or something.

You should never reply. I hope she hasn't put her signature on the letter - some companies have been very shady in the past and used this against people.

Ahh I don't know. I hope she hasn't. But why, what will they do?

If you look around the internet, a few of these shady "law firms" and "debt collectors" have been known to take the signature as an "agreement" that you will pay the money. Also, some signatures have been copied onto documents. Of course they don't all do this, but there have been cases of it. As I've said previously, getting into contact with them was the worst thing you could've done.
