Re: Fwd: Your rubbish. A Sad tale told by a fool.

Apologies to eveyone else...

Paul,

It seems fairly clear to me that this company is one *not* to have any sort
of dealings with!
Thanks for the warning. It also seems clear that they do not know the law
in
the UK. Their
customer service skills leave alot to be desired. Saying

...are foolish in believing that anyone cares

highlights the sort of people you have been dealing with.


Did you email them or phone? to me it sounds like an email and they
responded.. and just
out of curiosity I checked on slander and libel (if you emailed them it's
libel not slander!)
and this is what I got (www.askjeeves.com - ask "what is libel" :


libel and slander
in TORT law, two forms of defamation (unjustified disparagement of the good
name and
reputation of an individual). Defamation is classed as libel when it is in
some permanent form,
such as writing or a picture; when it is oral, it is classed as slander. In
both cases, it must be
revealed to a third party. A statement is generally not defamatory if it is
true, but under some
statutes a defendant must prove good motives in the utterance. Certain
privileged situations
(e.g., testimony in a court of law) shield a defamer from liability. The
usual remedy for
defamation is monetary damages.

Note that it says *individual* not company and that if it's true it's
generally not slander/libel
