Can I be sued by out-of-state collection agency?
Date: Tue, 09/18/2007 - 10:32
Got a letter from an omni credit services in florida. I'm in Indiana. It's about an old cell phone bill. It's the usual collection letter with the the lines about no payment means further collection activity.
Does a CA have to be in my state of residence to sue me? Can they get a judgement against me if they aren't even in my state? Or is all they can do just continue to bug me?
Thanks.

Suit
If they contract a attorney with license to practice in Florida, also it must still be within the statutes of limitation for your state. You may also want to send them a debt validation letter to see if they actually have rights to the account. I am by no means a expert but there are many on this forum who can tell you so much more.
Unfortunately you can still be sued, but you have to be sued in
Unfortunately you can still be sued, but you have to be sued in your state, I think. I doubt they will sue you if it is a very small amount. How old is the debt?
