Registered mail isn't being delivered? Hmm...that's a problem for service of process. I wasn't going to hire a process server because I figure no one worked in their offices but if I don't have an address to send mail, that will prove to be an impediment to obtaining justice against these asshats. Any ideas on where to reach them? Their attorneys aren't adequate to receive service. In the US, every corporation and LLC must have a registered agent that is available to accept service of legal papers. I don't see that for the UK -- am I wrong?

You don't need a registered agent in the UK.

There's and interesting article here: http://www.aboutsmallclaims.co.uk/serving-court-papers-documents.html

The Irrebutable Presumption of Service
It can be difficult for parties to litigation to understand that, in legal terms, service is not the same as delivery or receipt. A claim form is deemed to have been served on a defendant even if it has been returned to the court marked undelivered provided that it was sent to the last known or usual address of the defendant. The claim form is even deemed to have been served if the claimant knows that the defendant has left that address unless they know the defendants new address.
This rule is so strict that there is nothing the defendant can do to rebut it even if they have conclusive proof that they never received the document. There is even case law that says that service was still good where a document was sent to a property which had previously been destroyed.

It seems to suggest just sending the letter to the right address is enough, even if the defendant does not receive it.

Addresses I have:

Current:
66 Dickenson Road
Manchester
England
M14 5HF

Former (Accountancy firm):
66 Dickenson Road
Manchester
England
M14 5HF

Former (Residential):
3 Motcombe Farm Road
Heald Green
Stockport
Cheshire
England
SK8 3RW

My issue my local court won't accept that as valid service. I'm going by US rules, not UK but I will send it to the addresses you listed (except their accountancy firm). I can't serve their legal team because they aren't agents for the purposes of service of process. I need to serve any employee or director of Alpha T.

Anyways, I'm still drafting the lawsuit, I'm just trying to push this through as soon as possible to get a judgment I can use in the UK to seize assets.

Thanks for the info again!
