Re: Pywallet: manage your wallets/addresses/keys/tx's

I tried to install it on a Windows XP x86 ( last time I was on a Windows 7 x64 ) and it is giving this error:
'twisted' package is not installed, pywallet web interface can't be launched

I also tried to install it manually ( the 'twisted' package ), but it is giving the same error.


For anyone who is getting the above error when trying to run with the "--web" option, what I found out is that the problem wasn't that twisted was missing, but rather one of the modules that was being imported was tossing this error:

> AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'OP_NO_TLSv1_1

Google-fu brought up this page: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42731760/attributeerror-module-object-has-no-attribute-op-no-tlsv1-1#43220861

Re-installing twisted and specifying a specific version fixed it for me: sudo pip install twisted==13.1.0

Believe it or not people are still suing and winning. http://fightalpha.net

You can raise a dispute with Paypal.  If enough people do it they may do something about it.

Been tried way back when in 2014. paypal and amex  45 day limit on such. Also 30 days after that in dispute. How I lost my first dispute.
Got it thru my 2nd dispute with Amex (paypal told me to go away) in that Alpha neglected to say

1) it was a pre-order never arrived

2) I only paid partial payment for something that never arrived

3) Alpha said I paid in full

Thus got lucky....others tried after me, I got an extension after the 45 days and 30 days by keeping the dispute
process alive....that and the fact 'thou shall not try to pull a fast one on Amex'

others that have asked UK about this was told, no one was to be found. I also heard they have bankruptcy protection.

Thus they are just pumping this crap to keep out of jail I still think....

Kinda wish they did get a product out to those who ordered..that means my odds of being Natalie Portman's love puppet would still have a shot Smiley

Guys,

You are all right. The courts have already sided with you. No use in steaming over it. Take some action, get your money back. I've already been paid in full, PLUS court costs. So have many of my members. Make a phone call to LPC Law: http://fightalpha.net/index.php?topic=26.0

I can confirm that Alpha Tech has just paid the full amount of the five-figure judgement against them, albeit a month after the court deadline and only after I had engaged dcbltd.com to enforce it.

Whether it was because DCBL enforcements are featured on a UK television reality series and Muhammed didn't want to risk the public humiliation, or it is simply down to Alpha getting refinanced in some fashion and trying to keep the creditors at bay, I don't know.

But glad to finally have resolved it.



Excellent! That's a new route. Can you please post proof to fightalpha.net ? We'd love to fuel the fire with this.

Just a heads up, I paid over 1k gbp in total to Small Claims Solicitors and was told each step of way I will get all my money back with the claim process. Even after Judgement and failed 3RD PARTY debt order, I DO NOT  see any money, and I am at an even bigger loss than first. I am told they have no assets either so I have no way of getting my money, and the solicitors cannot do anything now besides from send warning letters to alpha idiots.

MY ADVICE, do not get sucked in by Small claim solicitors, that is job of legal companies to make money.. i am at an even bigger loss now.

I am also thinking if fightalpha has some connection with small claim solicitors because they show success stories but I have not seen proof of any, and they provide step guides which i followed.. I think it is all false pretense and money making game.

Everybody is making money but us the customer is losing money, from all angles.

Why does no1 provide a free way to get money back, why must we put in more money and keep losing money.. it is a scam from all angles.

Jorge, you have a successful Judgement against Alpha-T. That's excellent! I'm sorry you haven't gotten your judgement money yet, but please don't give up! You're so close.

For proof, yes N349 was successful for a couple of our users, see here: http://fightalpha.net/index.php?topic=158.0
Of course, it's possible Alpha caught on to that and moved their money elsewhere. You have other options!!

If you paid through PayPal: one of our users presented PayPal legal with a copy of the Judgement letter, and Alpha refunded them back their money: http://fightalpha.net/index.php?topic=155.0

They definitely DO have assets in PayPal.. paypal has frozen them until they "deliver" their product.

Finally, another one of our users had a 15,000 GBP judgement and issued a "winding up" petition. Alpha paid up IN FULL within a week of issuing the petition. They don't want to get wound up, so that's another option you have to take.

Good luck! You've already won, just be smart don't give up.

I just contacted Pay Pal and they said since my deposit is from over 1 year ago they can't help me. Those funds appear to have been released to Alpha a while ago. She did say their account is suspended.
Maybe someone who gave the deposit in the last year got thier money back. Can you clarify please? And thanks for your continued help here.

IAS

Do you have a judgement letter from the Judge?

No I don't. I am in Germany and am not sure how to go about that via UK. I am in for 405 pounds.
Would a judgment change Pay Pal's "law", as they told me earlier funds (e.g. mine) were already released to Alpha way back when?

Thx in advance,
IAS

One of our members presented PayPal with a Judgement letter, and Alpha refunded them in full. I think they don't want to piss PayPal off because they have frozen their assets.

But for 405 pounds.. it's not worth the fight, honestly.

Our fixed fee for this would be £380 which would include the court application fee, preparation of the application and witness statement and attendance at the application hearing by an advocate.

Basically.. "winning" would be 380 GBP, and in my case that fee was recoverable. They also advocated for 8% interest per year because Alpha was being "unreasonable" which was also granted.



I'd ask for a little more clarification on that 'fixed' price, I've paid more than three times that amount to get to the point of the court date and solicitor's attendance fee with them.

The price they mention there is just to get the court application filed and then Alpha get to file whatever defense they think they can muster against it and then it can go to small claims court, whereupon there will be additional fees to pay for the hearing fee and the solicitor's fee to attend it.




Yes, you're right about the court hearing fee, but not about the solicitors fee (that is included in the 380GBP). The court hearing fee is a fee charged directly by the court and it's 150 or so GBP, but it was fully recovered by LPC law as well. Once Alpha is found to be "unreasonable in it's dealings", then almost all legal costs are recoverable.

For those with Judgements: form N349 against Alpha's Bank (Lloyds Bank) WORKS. Find the full details and proof here: http://fightalpha.net/index.php?topic=158.msg540#msg540

I cannot stress enough: Even if you HAVE NOT YET SUED.. LPC LAW FIRM will handle EVERYTHING for you for a flat-fee. Just tell them you want the Alpha Technology deal Smiley The person who won with form n349 used them. The claimant was based in America and paid with Bitcoins. So you can win and get paid.. even if you are not in the UK. More info on LPC LAW FIRM here: http://fightalpha.net/index.php?topic=147.msg431#msg431

And final proof: http://fightalpha.net/index.php?topic=158.msg540#msg540

FIGHT ON AND WIN

Note: Alpha is FULLY SOLVENT. Another claimant had 15,000 GBP Judgement and issued a winding up petition against Alpha.

Here's their result:

Quote
Sorry it has taken a while, but finally I have achieved a result.. and an interesting one at that! My lawyers have just withdrawn the petition, since Alpha paid up the full judgement amount PLUS the petition costs!

I was actually quite surprised with that result. I figured that they would have moved the money off somewhere else and would then let the company get liquidated. However, it seems like they are trying to keep the company alive - hence they paid me to go away.

As a result, I would suggest that you press ahead with your own petition. I would also suggest keeping this news off the forum, and just communicate if (if you even see fit) to your paid-up members - probably more effective if they don't know that a petition is coming (until your lawyers tell them it will be unless they pay up immediately). Once the petition is served on them, the Court date is set for approx 4-6 weeks in the future.

Also keep in mind that the money you put in to serve the petition:
1. is the first to get paid back if they get liquidated
2. will get returned to you by them if they pay to you go away

I did wind up with some costs in getting the petition withdrawn, and the Court had not assigned me all the legal costs in the judgement, but I came out of the experience with a pretty decent proportion of what I put in.

Good luck!

Some will say that we shouldn't do this, that we should let Alpha flourish as a company.. to let them try to get back on their feet and hope to retrieve our money at a later date.

If you go through with seeking this winding up order, any funds that the appointed liquidator is able to disburse, will have to be divided up amongst ALL creditors. Do you think we're the only people Alpha are likely to owe money to? We could be looking at several months to a year before seeing anything able to be disbursed and even then it could be pennies on the pound.

If, however, individuals are able to get a judgement against Alpha they can then instruct bailiffs to go get a payment from them, a payment which will see the majority of what was paid returned to them, because Alpha are still likely to be trying to survive this and, therefore, will be motivated to settle when the bailiffs arrive.

It is somewhat unreasonable for you to have posted the details of successful claims against Alpha, which encouraged people to proceed with their own recovery actions, only to shortly afterwards announce that you intend to petition for a winding-up order which would completely change the landscape of our options.

I have just spoken to the solicitor who is pursuing my case and he said that, as you are talking about getting a large number of creditors together for this winding-up, there is little chance any other creditor could successfully appeal against it.



Cryptodevil, the options are not mutually exclusive. You should continue your claim against Alpha. Winding up can take longer than a year. A CCJ will take only take a few months.

Ya... This Sounds legit... Lets send LOTS of money to random people on the internet to chase after lost money.  [A legit service would take the fee out of the winnings.] Oh... And there is a Very strong possibility that the amount that Alpha has is LESS than the 3300 GBP fee the "lawyer" gets.

I'm fairly certain anyone can add themselves to the 'bankruptcy' creditors list without paying the 'spearhead's lawyer'.

Good Luck.

The lawyer knows that Alpha is a high-risk target; meaning they might NOT have any funds so the laywer will not work on a "fee out of the winnings" basis.

Of course you are entitled to your skepticism.

For those who want PROOF, I have received permission to post the law firm, which is Fieldfisher, and I'm working with the head of the firm's debt recovery department, Mr Rob Surridge. His contact details are here: http://www.fieldfisher.com/people/s/robert-surridge

I've attached our conversation as MP3. Feel free to take a listen.

The way the winding up process works works, is that there needs to be a "spearhead" person, which is me and I'll be the one that works with Mr Surridge as his client. Everyone who joins in the petition is a 'supporting creditor'. Does this mean that I get paid first if Alpha is wound up? No, not at all. Everyone that joins in the petition is at the same level, meaning Alpha's funds/assets will be divided among all of us evenly (if there is any at all!) This is all spelled out in the conversation I had with Mr Surridge, which is attached as MP3.

I've negotiated a flat-fee of 3300 GBP with Mr Surridge, a cost which will be split among all the final participants. There are about 40 now who are interested. I'm sure how many will go through with it, maybe only 80% of those who expressed initial interest will want to go through with it, so I'll ask for an amount from each participant in that range. I'll setup a paypal account and a final email on Wednesday with the amount you need to send (in GBP) to be considered as part of the supporting creditors in the petition.

Some will say that we shouldn't do this, that we should let Alpha flourish as a company.. to let them try to get back on their feet and hope to retrieve our money at a later date. I feel that is wrong; it will just give Alpha more time to make a clean getaway. If they have the funds and assets , great we all get some of our money back. I'm happy with that. If they don't have the funds and assets then they aren't gonna make it as a company anyway.

Wednesday April 20th is the deadline. Send your 1. full name 2. Amount that Alpha owes you (in GBP!) and 3. full address to jake@fightalpha.net if you want to be considered.

Keep an eye out for my final email on wednesday.

Fight on.

I have been in talks with a law firm that is very good at Debt Recovery.

I am negotiating a flat-fee cost for winding up Alpha. If Alpha is wound up, their assets will be seized and sold to pay off debts. You *DO NOT NEED to have a Judgement* to participate in a winding up order. If you are interested in joining, I need from you:

1. Your full name
2. The Amount that Alpha owes you.
3. Your full address

Send me these items and I will compile them, and get them over to the law firm. I will shoot off another email when we are ready for the next step, which will be soon.

Send it to jake@fightalpha.net

For those who wish to get their money back, there is a law firm that has won all cases they've tried against Alpha.

They will handle all aspects of suing Alpha, all paperwork and court hearing, without any involvement from you being necessary, for a reasonable flat-fee.

The fee that was paid to them has been recovered on other cases, as well they argued that Alpha should pay 8% annual interest on the money they refused to refund, which the court found in favor of.

I will be posting their details in a newsletter soon, so if you want to hear about them just sign up at the site.

Im considering to open a case against cityaddresses via MCOL. One guy from Austria (my homecountry) wrote me, that he also used cityaddresses to forward mail and he received his court-mail. So finally he went to the hearing and won his case.

In Sept 2014 I asked cityaddresses for status, so is there any new mail as i expect mail from MCOL? They answered, that theres is no mail and that they forward mail within the same day of receipt. So what happened then? I got TWO MCOL-documents in ONE envelop after 5 working days (usual delivery time from UK to AT).

So i filled form N180 and sent it to MCOL timely, and they transfered my case to the Manchester county court (17th sept 2014).

Since then i havent heard anything. In November i asked cityaddresses again for status, no answer, nothing.
1 month ago I asked again for status, nothing, no answer.

I also asked the court via their e-filing e-mail address twice (November 2014 and 2 days ago). I asked them, if i can help? If i have to send more documents? If they need anything from me? If they sent anything to me? No answer, nothing.
Unfortunately my spoken english is very very bad (not really existent), so i cant communicate my problem via telephone, dont have any practice  Angry, and this is the reason, why i requested an interpreter with form N180.


Slipknot, you need to be calling into the court where they transferred your case, once a week. CityAddress is slow, and they are only a formality. I wish I knew a faster service, but I am not from UK so I used them. True, they will wait a long time to send you your mail, BUT you can know everything from calling into your court and giving them the case #. They are helpful and happy to help. Be sure to ask if you have any fees to pay, as you WILL need to pay a fee when assigned a hearing date. But also, try a Summary Judgement.

Do any of you case winners actually think you will be paid?  Now comes the fun part.

who knows.  it's better than letting them simply walk off with people's money....

No... it is EXACTLY like them simply walking off with people's money.  They will shuffle money around like accountants do, then have the company go bankrupt, and pocket it all.  These guys need jail time.

No it is not.  Doing something is not the same as doing nothing.  

I agree these people should go to jail but also think people should be trying to get their money back instead of simply sitting back and doing nothing.

People have filed fraud reports and taken other steps to report them to legal authorities as well.   This is only one vector in all of this.

"No it is not.  Doing something is not the same as doing nothing." It is, if they don't get their money back either way.  Well... I guess not, as they have pay court costs up front.

I'm in the boat of "Paid 100%, got 30% refund".  I knew this was a risky bet and didn't gamble with money I couldn't afford to lose.  Filing court against is also a gamble... for some people it's def worth the risk, for others it's not.  I simply don't believe I'll see a dime of what they owe me regardless of my actions.

Do I believe people should fight for they money back?  Absolutely... as long as they understand: Even if you win... you still might not get your money back AND you'll be out court costs.

Gushes, we've already had judgements paid out by Alpha. Just to quell your fears about that.
