hi, i'm just trying to find out how exactly did they get our names and addresses? has anyone or everyone in here had a listing removed off ebay with the vero protection thingy that jemella have started? because i think then they have a right to obtain the contact details from ebay.

or have they just got our details from a buyer?

cheers guys

 

Hi they gave me until the 14th feb,i got my letter end of January,as soon as you get in touch with them the price goes up, aswell as the 350 they also want money for each set that you sold.They told me on the phone that they get their detail's from ebay,but they cannot access paypal as it is protected from european law.

p.s. did ebay get in touch with any of you guy's to change your passwords for your account as someone had hacked in to mine just before all this happened,just wondering if this was just a coincidence.

 

not that i know of mate

 

so how much information can these guys get then? are they actually in co-operation with an ebay official, and are they entitled to our contact details and people we bought them off and people we sold them too?

 

Yes i had a listing removed from ebay with the vero protection, but i know someone that was selling at the exact same time as me and they did'nt get removed and have'nt received a letter,the only information that they had on me was through ebay,it's as if we were lambs to the slaughter,let us sell for a wee while, then get us

 

well so far i'v seen two solicitors and one says they will act for me at a cost. i want to keep the charges to a minimal so am thinking of ringin up the company and sorting it myself. i suppose if you send them a letter then there legal expenses will go up if they reply with a letter.



has any1 signed the undertakings letter and returned it and paid the 350 legal costs?

my solicitor told me not to do this, but just keep in contact with them



cheers

 

I've just been on paypal and printed all the invoices off, also i saved all the proof of postage slips so that may help with regards to getting my profit down.

What i think i am going to do is send copies of all my receipts and invoices to Walker Morris and find out how big the fine is going to be. If it more that £750 then there is no way i will pay it. I have spoken to a bloke who is kind of a solicitor not a proper one though, he told me that they have got me, that i should co-operate fully. I am not sure though. Has anyone seen a proper solicitor as i am not sure where we stand.

Will they take us to court? are we in the shit?

i don't have a clue!!

 

Hi guy's

Remember though they also want all your buyers info so that you can refund them aswell so you would be looking at well over £750 if you send them your receipts

 

hi,

The way i read the letter it seems to me as they only want your buyers details for those that have bought more than 10 from you.

 

Hi

They told me on the phone that they want all the buyers details so that they can recall the straightners and then get the people a refund

 

Yeah my letter said that aswell but when my solicitor spoke to them on the phone they said that they want all names and addresses, that is the reason i am waiting on there next action as my solicitor advised me against this, have you spoke to anyone at w.morris again, if you are thinking of paying them they might offer for you to pay by instalments as they offered me this

 

i have a solicitor acting on our behalf now. its costing 250+vat to complete negotiations with w.morris. im thinkin maybe it was a wrong move but i hope they can knock the price down if they talk a bit more professionally lol i thought about ringing em up but chickened out i guess.

kn95,

did they give you any figures for compensation, and was it based on per item sold?

cheers
