> simplified claims procedure

I believe this is what we call small claims court in the United States. The threshold varies by state, but it is a very effective way to deal with recalcitrant companies both large and small.

We call it "small claims" in the UK too. In England & Wales it's officially a "court claim". In Scotland I think it's "simple procedure".

recalcitrant companies with a presence within the court's jurisdiction, which in the OP's case doesn't sound likely.
