Sue Alitalia for my lost bags?
 
Hi guys,
Alitalia lost one of my bags four months ago while traveling from
Boston to Cairo. I filed a claim when it was lost.
I have been trying to contact them for the last four months but they
never answer their phones. The only response I got back was by email
saying that they will settle my claim after 100 days from the day my
bag was lost.
Now it's 120 days, and I received nothing. The bag is worth more than
1000 dollars.
Also I have travel insurance but they are refusing to give me anything
until Alitalia settles the claim.

I decided to go to the small claim court in Boston, but I need to list
the defendant's name, what should I write?

Thanks

Take them to Small Claims Court.
After you win, then have the local Sheriff SEIZE ONE OF THEIR AIRCRAFT
at a local airport!

Similar to people seizing cruise ships in a port!

It's really strange that a commercial business "never" answers the
phone...perhaps you have the wrong number? Try the 800 operator and ask her
if they have a toll free number. Or go to their website....

The phone numbers dedicated for the lost baggage never get answered,
instead you go through some recorded message that says to fax your
claims or mail them to some address.
But they replied my emails telling me to wait 100 days which I waited
already. Then after 120 days they tell me to be patient. It's been
four months without any compensation and also I can't even get
anything from the travel insurance I bought because they wait first
for the airline settlement.

Try one of those consumer problem solvers. Maybe your newspaper has
one. Check one of those travel magazines.

BTW you are not going to get anywhere near $1,000 for one loss bag.
What kind of bag is it and why is it that expensive? Maybe that's why
it go stolen. Check your ticket to see the limits they put on loss
bags.

It's generally not the value of the bag, itself, but of the contents
therein. However, he had better have really good records, price receipts,
etc.
