Penalty Charges have had to temporarily close whilst an issue with their hosting providers is sorted out. This may mean court battles and we will support Stephen in any way we are able.

Stephen Hone/Penalty Charges

Dear Stephen
It has recently come to our attention that your web site http://www.penatlychargesforum.co.uk appears to offer advice and
seems to encourage the borrowing of money from companies without the intention of repaying it.
The nature of borrowing money with the intention of never repaying is viewed as deception, and is a clear breach of
s.15 of the Theft Act 1968.
Here are some links of examples
http://www.penaltychargesforum.co.uk...ad.php?t=45733
http://www.penaltychargesforum.co.uk...t=payday+loans
For example this link http://www.penaltychargesforum.co.uk...t=payday+loans
shows one of the forum users telling someone to cancel their direct debits and change their contact numbers to avoid
contact.
These people are freely admitting that they cannot afford to borrow the money, but borrow it anyway, then openly
use tactics they have learned from each other to avoid repaying.
This is not only a breach under s.15 of the Theft Act 1968 but is also a breach of our Terms and Conditions of service s.
4.3 to include s.4.3.4 and s.4.3.5
We hereby suspend your hosting and put you on notice to take action and to immediately remove all references to
these kinds of activities and any forums relative to these activities and actions.
Our terms and conditions are attached.
Kind Regards
