Davenport Lyons are suing a single mum of two on benefits for £565 that she simply doesn't have....?

Question

Davenport Lyons have issued proceedings against me. Allegedly, my 13-year-old son downloaded a game illegally. I have spoken to him, he didn't know he was doing anything illegal. He didn't install the game and never played it, so he derived no benefit from it. Davenport Lyons are claiming £565 from me. I'm a single mum with two children, now 14 and 4, struggling on benefits. There are no childminders to collect my daughter from school so my employment possibilities are limited. Why do Atari and Davenport Lyons need £565 more than I do? Is this how our legal system is organised? To allow predatory lawyers to trawl through records to persecute a child for a genuine mistake? Can I claim against them for the trauma this has caused to my family, which is genuine, profound, ongoing and likely to be of lengthy duration?

Answer 1

i,m sure you would be entitled to free legal aid ,so get it started right away your solicitor will have a word with them & if it goes to court you will get off with a caution as what they are really doing is making an example of you for the sake of p****y,so get to it & get the worries of your mind.

Answer 2

No, when you are up against a company, which has legal rights, you cannot claim against them for trauma etc as they have technically done nothing wrong.  In the eyes of the standing law, it is your son who is in the wrong.
