I phoned the number given on the bill 0800 092 5551; explained that this bill had shown up on her laptop. They asked for my email address to send a form which i have to sign; send back with a copy of her passport/ birth certificate. They asked for £29.95 but would waver the charge if i send the info on my daughter. On the day they said the item had been downloaded, we were all on our way to Scotland, No one was at home which is where the laptop was left . I have emailed back, support@microbillsys.com stating this information & letting them know that due to only having a PO box i would look into them further by asking before i sent my daughters personel details to them. They also state because the Lap Top is in my house I am responsible for the bill. They insist that Registration took place on the 20/1/08 at 19:26:01 when we were all in Turriff in Scotland 400 miles away from the laptop, on the 24/1/08 16:45:26 site access request -- accepted then again at 16:45:48 just seconds later.We did not arrive back home untill the 1st feb.I am rather worried how easy they have got onto my daughters pc. My son thinks he has fully removed this site from my daughters lap top & it is working better. Time will tell. I have not yet heard from MBS in reply to my email. The Phone number I have is 0800 092 5551 OR 0871 231 7373 they only give address with PO Box 185, Leeds LS12 9AJ.
