Not 28 days. I'd give them until the end of tomorrow.
I agree, I was going to say 7 days max.We had something similar a while back with one of our sites, although they didn't bother hosting the images etc themselves.
So we changed the pictures on the server to something along the lines of 'stop being thieving s' and just waited...
Few hours later they'd taken the site down. Of course this isn't the most professional way of doing it, but it was more fun!

As usual with anything internet related, there is some pretty awful advice being thrown around.
The content on the website, did you actually create it? Or was it on there when you bought it? If the latter then you need to double check who it was that actually done the stealing. It might have been the person you bought the site from and its you thats in the wrong...
Nearly every UK host will act on a DMCA complaint so its not a bad route to go down since there are plenty templates ready to send.
You could complain to Nominet - if they've registered a domain and are then passing themselves off as you, it would almost certainly be seen as an abusive registration.

It was definitely created by us...our company has been in existence for years before the robbers! The pictures they are using are in the database of hundreds of pictures we inherited and they are actually using our name. They are a very large events company who cater for every kind of event imaginable whereas we specialise in just two or three events. The content on the website, did you actually create it?

I'm not in a position to give links to the two websites although I'd really like to.
