Hi everyone, Thank you so much for your speedy and supportive replies ... I'm feeling a little less despairing now :)
I have set up a PayPal account for gathering funds towards mounting a legal challenge. It is a separate account from the HLT operating accounts and I am very happy to give a community representative access to the records etc. So here it is: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=FQ6JH3L48LV5Y And thanks :) Cheers Jo.
