BadPhorm - When good ISPs go bad!

Dear Mr M

The basis of your complaint is clear from your latest email.

I am sorry to say that Ofcom is not competent to investigate complaints
against the Greater Manchester police or to investigate possible breaches
of the RIPA, which are a matter for the police, police complaints
procedures, and potentially for the Interception of Communications
Commissioner.

In the event that it is determined that BT/Yahoo's actions in relation
to their email service is a breach of RIPA, there might also be grounds for
 Ofcom to investigate the T&Cs of the BT/Yahoo email service.  
Please inform us if this does turn out to be the position.

Yours sincerely,

Rachel Wingfield

Thank you for your reply.
 It was the answer I expected as I have been trying for the last nine 
months trying to get regulators to grasp that the offence is a breach of 
ripa and not a matter of the terms and conditions, although they breach 
the Unfair terms and Conditions in Contracts regulations by imposing an 
impossible and unfair burden on the customer by making them party to an 
illegal interception.

I mention the terms and conditions that BT impose on their customers 
only as the evidence that BT have declared their intent to ignore the 
law.   I am not a BT customer and so the terms and conditions have no 
hold over me yet they intend to use them as an excuse to illegally 
intercept my communications.

The law requires full bilateral consent of sender and recipient to any 
interception.
This consent must be obtained BEFORE any interception takes place.
BT have been refused any and all consent to intercept my communications

Implied consent is NOT sufficient to permit interception. Any 
interception of communications by BT is therefore illegal. This places 
an unfair condition on BT customers by making them party to an illegal 
act and therefore the terms and conditions are in breach of the Unfair 
Terms and Conditions in Contracts legislation and unenforceable in law.

The above should be enough for you to act against BT in the matter of 
the terms and conditions.

I am pursuing the matter of Ripa by other avenues
