It is definitely worth their while to continue. Over 18 months since starting this they haven't stopped.
yes I know they claim to be doing that with their Statutory instrument cases but that isn’t true and we should have killed that risk off for everyone who reads this forum and did what we told people to do.Leave a comment:

They may not have given up but extracting any more now requires committing (risking) a lot of time and money to it.Leave a comment:

If you were to join WTT (or one of the other groups), then Felicitas wouldn't attempt to take you as an individual to court, as they would be advised that you're part of a group action so to speak. By trying to then take you to court, my belief is that WTT (or another) would then step in. Ask WTT (or another) if that's the case or not though.Leave a comment:

I'm thiking that if Felicitas ever takes me to court i'm going to have to pay someone to represent me anyway so i'll wait till then.

My comment would be that were it to hit court £800 to get your lawyer up to speed would be money well spent compared to paying a lawyer to read everything and check things out.
the unknowns are:- will Felicitas actual take someone to court except via the Statutory demand approach everyone on here should have avoided.
- where would the case be held as it should be in the IoM but there are issues doing it there (you need to pay
