I had thought about taking a trip up there myself, but even so, it just might be a registered address and not actually a residential address.
And please, im not getting defensive, i'm just laying out what i see as i see it.But as i said before, i would gladly take the opportunity to prove to someone who's a bit more local to me, hell, I'll even bring passport, utility bills and receipts from my local Morrison if you like
plus i have a south London accent, not a east European one.. but as i said, im doing this to recover from BA,
at my expense so far so anyone who comes along for the ride, you bolster my case and you get yours added to it.
If you think i'm a BA shill.. then don't join in. I'll still be using my lawyers to try and force a recovery on BA.
If its correct and they don't have any money in the bank and i get a court order to recover the funds... what will happen?
I'm my experience, if you can't pay your goods are confiscated and sold off to meet your debt. What is that going to mean for all the miners in stock, all the boards all the cases all the chips all the PSU and everything in their building ? They are confiscated to pay their debt. Now maybe China has a different way of handling this sort of thing, and from a totally mercenary point of view, i shouldn't be concerned with others, i should only be concerned with my money they owe me. However, as it serves me, it should serve everyone, but recovery of debts owed to large numbers of people can only be discharged to those named on the legal action.. in the UK anyway... how it works in china.. i don't know... but it's soon to be found out what the process is exactly.
On the other hand, i could have just kept quiet and proceeded with the case to get my money back and not say anything to anyone and all anyone else would know would be that BA would roll up and die and EVERYONE looses , hell you might not even get notification that they've gone down... they don't answer the telephones anyway.
So from my point of view, im trying to be accommodating, im trying to do something for our community... i can lead the horse, but can't force it to drink i think works here.
If you actually file a legit class action here's the "order of things"
A. Law firm evaluates the case and says "Yes, or No" They don't need to know how many e-mails of people you have, they base it on expectation to win, vs amount in suit.
B. If they accept the case or say they want to pursue it further, they give you contact info and/or create a release which can be distributed that shows the company, the name of the case and a brief summary. (If it's "your buddy doing it" he would be able to provide this info for re-posting without hesitation of any type.)
C. They tell you to give their contact number out for all communications involved between you and someone potentially in the suit. (Ie they would have said "Cease sending mails to BA immediately and direct all their replies to our address.") Most likely they would post in this forum directly, not have you try to represent them to the community.
D. They interview the respondents, usually an e-mail form or online questionnaire, but it would be 100% verifiable and connected to a legal organization with a phone number and a contact name. 100% of the time.
If you can't provide verification in a public forum, you don't actually have anyone pursuing legal action, this is a lie you're probably using this as a scare tactic to try to get yourself some comp from BA or to circle-jerk people who do want some kind of legal action. Or come up with a list to give to BA in exchange for comp/miners/etc...
There is absolutely 100% NO reason whatsoever you wouldn't be able
to provide all the contact information of a legal representation
and their direct contact information in this forum if this is legit.
