I received this from the OFT of London. Does this mean they can do business in the United States?


This is what the OFT emailed me back about doing business in the U.S

You will need to check with relevant United States (US) authorities to ascertain whether or not they can legally do business in the US. The credit licence is a requirement of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 which is a UK legislation and only applies to activities carried out within the UK.

Here is what I have found in my research: Any company in anothe country has to be liscensed in the US in order to do business here, they are also bound by the law of the person's resident state of whom they are doing business with (this is because if they do try to sue you they are going to sue you in your state not in their country therefore your states laws are the ones that will be followed)

It seems to me that I read somewhere a few months ago, and it could have been here, that some of these pdls were in trouble in England and that there was a place to register complaints against them. I think that the government over there is a bit mor aggressive in dealing with them than we are here in the US. I will have to go back and look through old threads.
