Help required !!. When the removal of bottom by Swiss Central Bank of EUR/CHF I had in Alpari about EUR 500 with less than one contract long, something like 0,5 or 0,7 lots, I think to remember. So, everything was lost. Alpari UK, in turn, went into bankcruptcy. I couldn't even access to my account anymore. Now this guys are runing after me asking £11.383.50. Anyone knows any lawyer dealing with these issues? What to do? I assume they are taking as basis of their claim of debt the Force Major... I don't know. See below the message I got.
