So basically you don't seem to be doing anything wrong to the company that's complaining (apart from bumping them down in google!) and I doubt very much that they have any legal right to demand that you take the site down - that would be down to the Agencies listed.

Personally I'd put the site back up, make sure it's conforms to whatever and then I'd take legal advice and go ballistic on them!

That's just my opinion of course and I'm far from a legal professional.

if it were me......

I'd call their bluff and tell them to report you, it sounds very much like they are trying it on. You could also send what you have to the FSA for their comments/advice and at the same time report them (presumably they are memebers) for their bully tactics as THEY have no rights to tell what you can and can't do on your own site (the FSA maybe but not them).

Just my opinion, not advice legal or otherwise

<Crappy letter from chancers>

I would have put that straight in the bin. They are trying it on.

Loads of Chancers around at the moment throwing �50 note letters from solicitors around. Sort of Reverse Hijacking really ain't it ?

You could cite Malicious Communications Act - Malicious Communications Act 1988 (c. 27)

Quote:

An Act to make provision for the punishment of persons who send or deliver letters or other articles for the purpose of causing distress or anxiety.

I'm a ceo of a company and I formally request you only hop, also ask any affliate or assosiated company that they also hop and send me your assurance that you will hop within the appointed time scale or I'll take approipiate action

“Appears to” Is a opinion not a legal fact,

“Formally request” please please please,

“Appropriate steps” they mean hold there breathe and stamp there feet,

Letter is not from a solicitor only says its copied and sent to them that means fiddly, Copying and sending a letter to any legal firm does not mean they are representing them?

Only a court, judge .etc can set a time limit on you doing something..

You don’t have to provide them with any email assurance or send them any acknowledgement at all They are nothing...

You have a right to privacy totally ignore them

If i was you... I'd give the name to me purely for being a nice guy :P

GreyWing · 13-08-2009, 12:36:14 AM

Mark you know I'll give you what you paid for it if it comes to it.

That name (if it is the same as we discussed) is so generic it is beyond a joke, although I would enjoy winding them up.

I think all the SEO experts on here should create loads of mini sites with the same keywords and all the links go to yours and then send the complainants site into google oblivion, whatch them complain then

Just my opinion....
