We refer to previous correspondence in relation to an infringement of copyright matter
we have been communicating on. If you have recently made payment in full or
received a letter from us confirming that the matter has been satisfactorily concluded
then please disregard this letter.
In order to allow us to focus on the issuing of proceedings our client has instructed
agents GCB Limited to correspond with you directly in relation to the above matter in
place of ACS Law Solicitors.
Accordingly all outstanding correspondence that may have been received from you
has been passed to GCB Limited at the request of our client. Please address all future
correspondence and communication to GCB Limited and not us as we are no longer
instructed to correspond or communicate with you.
If you wish to make payment in acceptance and settlement of the compromise
agreement previously offered you are most welcome to do so but please direct
payment to GCB Limited and not us. This firm will only contact you again if we are separately instructed by our client to issue proceedings but until then you should direct all enquiries and payments to GCB Limited.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully
