Anything is possible under international law, particularly for clear cut territories like UK/US. To avoid expensive lawyers fees, you can get legal advise in the UK (or even Legal Aid) to obtain an injunction... that's assuming the other party is legit/operational.

I guess it depends on the "PROOF" you have to support the fact that it is a ficticious claim for protection.My advice would be either get a laywer or better yet stay away from the person who is making false claimes that they are being threatend.The protection order sounds to be as good for you as it is for the person asking for it.

Surely you have travel insurance ?  Can't the travel insurance company fix you up with a solicitor ?  \n\nYou could also try asking the British Embassy/Consulate in Brazil for advice.

Try calling them first and stating your case. If that doesn't work and you know you are right, get in touch with the comsumer protection agency. They can a big help.

If this had been a contract with the company, then you could have sued for breach of contract and they would no doubt have been glad to settle out of court.  The problem is, you were subcontracted and your agency was the employer. Just put it down to experience.  It won't show up on your cv and you wouldn't want to work for such horrible people anyway.

When it comes to legal matters of this sort--one has to be very specific on details-------First-hopefully this company is within the same state in which you have residence--if this be the case--call the state's Attorney General's offices and they will assist you in making a formal complaint and council you on your options (in some states they will do this for you even if the business your having problems with is an out of state address)----if it is not in the same state  as you ---you may need to go to the Federal Trade Commission  (FTC) to get satisfaction--------in any case---and not meaning any disrespect to those who have answered in the manner---the BBB is not going to give you satisfaction in this matter--all the BBB does is take the report--contact the business in question and give them a chance to file a report on their side of this story---if the business files that report---BBB will file it along with your complaint and log it as a settled matter and that will be that---they do not advocate--council--negotiate--or seek legal actions against anyone-------------have all your records of contracts--reciepts and other correspondence handy when you contact the Attorney General's office because --once you get the person on the line that will talk to you about the specifics--they more than likely have alot of questions and will want to know particulars that only the paperwork will provide-------------Hope this Helps---------Now----Go Nail the Bastards

No court can exceed it's legal juristriction, therefore a court in England can not force it's decision in India. There is no possiability of extradiction over such a trivial issue. However, if you ever return to the UK you could be arrested and possiably charged with contempt over your failure to comply with a court order

What you are running into is a "cease and desist" tactic, which is sometime used by businesses to scare off potential threats.  There are two things you should know:\n1) You can not be charged criminally if you haven't committed a crime; and\n2) they wouldn't have warned you if they have evidence of you committing the crime.  They would just close you down.\nTherefore, you can assume these are just threats.  You should handle this in this manner:\n1) Get a lawyer that deals with business law.  If you can not afford one, go to the Small Business Administration and ask for a referral for an attorney that does pro bono work.  Possibly, someone in their office may be able to help you.\n2) Write back to the company.  Request any proof they may have of you committing fraud and offer to prove that you are not at blame for this matter.  DO NOT BE ACCUSATORY!  Hot heads will lead to an explosion here.\n3) If you can make no headway, talk to your lawyer about proceeding with harassment charges against the business.\n\nUsually, if you can show that you can not be pushed around, and if their claim is truly false, they will back off.  Good luck!

Their defense will be that you knowingly used their services.  By making a payment you agreed to the contractual agreements.  I don't think you will win this one with such a defense.  Sorry.

Get a lawyer to write him a letter--it should only cost $100-200.  Issues to consider -- violating your right to privacy, right to publicity, and defamation.  Demand that the website be taken down.\nAlso consider contacting his Internet Service Provider.  They have obligations to take down illegal material (well, at least they do in the U.S.-- UK libel law is actually stricter than U.S. libel law, so U.K. ISPs may be even more willing to censor their subscribers' speech).  Contact Google to report the violation of your rights to ensure that a cached version is not stored by Google.\n\nIf you're going to write him an e-mail first, I would suggest being polite but firm.  State that you've never authorized this mini-biography, nor the pictures being taken in a private pub.  State that the false statements are libelous and caused harm to your reputation, and that the other statements and pictures violate your privacy.  State that in the interest of fairness and decency, you demand that he take down the website and destroy any electronic copies of your pictures, and that you request confirmation of such in 5 days, otherwise further legal action may be taken.\n\nIt works best if you have a lawyer draft this letter.  It shows that you're serious , and will be artfully drafted to scare the bejeezsus out of him. Plus, you can handle it and don't have to be stressed.

England works a touch different than the US (in regards as to where to submit), but the child may have duel citizenship.  Get to the Indian Consulate to get these questions answered

If you accepted a contract... on their part right or wrong, it is a legally binding agreement and they must honour it...\n\nthe honest truth is that you probably wont get much out of it getting 'legal' about it all, but from the scenario you've put across your quite correct, they have broke the law through breach of contract.\n\nPersonally, i wouldn't fight too much on this issue... just keep pestering them and they might offer you a comprimise.

Assuming the information is true, unless the individual who does not work for the company was a party to a confidentiality agreement, there is no legal recourse.  If s/he has breached a confidentiality agreement, you can bring suit against her/him for that breach.

They won't allow you to, that's why NASS supports you. You could ask the IND but I doubt you will be able to get anywhere. If you have a solicitor dealing with your case, check with them.

Same way you sue any company or person go to the justice of the peace department and file a small claims against it. It helps if you got an adress and owner or agent name but you can find it out at that office, telephone number or fax will help to. It usually costs about 65 dollars or atleast thats what i payed which is reimbursed when money is colleted from the company, but prices on it I think have gone up but I'm in texas don't know where your at. anywho hope this helped.

It's a sad fact that international online fraud usually is not investigated, let alone prosecuted unless a victim has lost tens of thousands of dollars.\n\nUK law enforcement generally will not act on crime reports from outside the UK except from law enforcement in other countries (for example, via Interpol). If you have been defrauded you generally need to report this to the local police in your own country. \n\nIf you realized that it was a scam and backed out before sending any money to the criminals then your case normally will *not* be investigated because there are too many cases of victims who did lose money that are still waiting to be investigated. It's a matter of priorities.\n\nYou can report such online scams to http://www.ic3.gov which collects reports of Internet crime. You can also report online fraud mails to http://www.scamomatic.com which checks submitted messages for whether they are scam emails and logs scam details in a database for warning others.\n\nIf you want adequate resources to be allocated to fighting online fraud then you should write to your local representative in Congress / parliament. Right now online fraud is virtually risk-free for international scammers.
