Submitting a Counter Defamation Claim to Google

Comment on DLH Web Consultancy Ltd Review by Money Guy.

Update May 2017: I think I understand why the DMCA counter notification failed, I made the error of stating the now dissolved business DLH Web Consultancy Ltd (https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/08239559) located at Boho One – F05, Bridge Street West, Middlesbrough, England TS2 1AE and the business Web Consultancy Group Ltd (https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/07924238) located at 21 Gosford St, Middlesbrough, TS2 1BB are the same business/company.

Not 100% sure I did this right, but it was the only online form (DMCA counter notification form) I could find that was close.

Used this form : https://support.google.com/legal/contact/lr_counternotice?product=websearch to submit a counter defamation claim against DLH Web Consultancy (AKA: Web Consultancy Group Limited) who submitted this defamation claim: https://www.lumendatabase.org/notices/13378139

Legal Complaint

The articles contain several falsehoods. It relates to the company called DLH Web Consultancy Ltd, which is a totally separate company also this company has also legally closed. The author has, however, updated the articles to feature “AKA Web Consultancy Group”. As it is a different company and has nothing to do with the matters he refers to we believe this to be prejudicial against our business and request that they be removed from the website. We have contacted Fasthosts, where the server is and they provided us with an email for the host master, 3 email have since been sent with no reply. Further, the articles feature personal attacks against a lady, Elizabeth Mulligan, and seek to embarrass her. The publication of certain information by David Law has caused Ms Mulligan a great deal of anxiety and stress. Fact is, I work at Web Consultancy Group Limited, this is a totally separate company and has never been known as DLH Web Consultancy. This s …

Below is what I added to the DMCA counter notification form.

Why are you requesting reinstatement? Other ticked

“Not sure this is the correct form for a counter defamation claim.

Found this https://www.lumendatabase.org/notices/13378139 indicates multiple URLs from my site stallion-theme.co.uk have been removed from Google websearch

I only have the info from the above URL which end abruptly at “DLH Web Consultancy. This s …”

I’m not aware of information after “this s …”. I’d appreciate a full copy of the notice

I did not receive 3 emails from them.

I standby the info posted in the comment http://stallion-theme.co.uk/google-consultant-vs-seo-consultant/?cid=45093 and my research and their responses on my site and via private Facebook messages DLH Web Consultancy Ltd and Web Consultancy Group are the same people.

I do no believe the truthful information posted defames DLH Web Consultancy Ltd or whatever they are calling themselves.

I received another spam email from them today, see: http://stallion-theme.co.uk/google-consultant-vs-seo-consultant/?cid=48496 they are still sending out unsolicited email spam.

The form is limited to 1000 characters, so had to be succinct.

Will be interesting to see if this is enough to remove the Defamation notice and my site blocked from Google for DLH Web Consultancy Limited SERPs
