Alpha will attempt to say something along these lines as a defense:


I Called MoneyClaim and asked them directly if it's OK to sue even though I lived in the US. This is their response:
"As long as you've got a UK address where you can receive correspondence, then it's fine".

Hear it for yourself: http://fightalpha.net/screenshots/non-uk-NtOyIBnzS3.mp3

Just a reminder, Step 1 of filing small claims is to get a UK address.

This is for people who need to follow up with a UK address after making the mistake using your own address outside the UK.

I just received the same defense to my claim, only with stronger wording saying that I was using a fraudulent UK address and therefore not under UK jurisdiction.   

Do you have any advice on how to respond or what to do next here?  Now that they've used that defense, does the court review it and determine its a bullshit defense? 

Any info would be appreciated.

Hi zenee. Alpha is using scare tactics. You're 100% in the clear. Simply respond by completing form n180 and emailing it back as detailed here: http://fightalpha.net/index.php?topic=36.0

Thanks for the info!  How did you learn about this form, and is it appropriate for those of us who are filing for more than 10,000 pounds?  Looks like 10k is the limit for small claims.

Any info/references on where you got this info would help me sleep at night, because all I keep reading about the MCOL filing process is that, essentially, fuck-ups on my part will result in me losing the considerable amount of dough I've blown on the case.

I'm just paranoid - keep up the good work sir.

Will they tell you to fill out the direction questionnaire?

I created this form when alpha refused to give me 100% refund back. How much more than 10K are you going to sue them for? I got this info directly from MoneyClaim's official website.

On this form do I put my name on the top or alpha?

[fightalpha]

Your name goes there.

Did you say yes to mediation?  Also hearing venue?  Did you have to sign it or did you just fill it out on computer and sent the pdf attachment?

[fightalpha]

Yes, say yes to mediation (they will not do it, it just shows you are willing). Yes, you need to sign it. You can sign and scan it to email it back.
