Legal Answers
- Q. Can I sue a company for TCPA violations in my local small claims court if the telemarketer’s in a different state?
- A: Yes, you can sue them in Small Claims here in Michigan. Once you do so, (if this is a legit company), they will remove the case to the general docket. TCPA cases are complex. You may be able to recover $1,500 per call if the conduct was willful. Demonstrating willfulness is difficult and may require discovery - which you won't get in Small Claims court. As always, you should consult a lawyer who specializes in TCPA law.
- Q. Is it the manufacturers fault or the dealerships fault? Also should I hire and attorney and if so which type?
- A: I suggest you hire a lawyer to address this matter. At the very least you should have an attorney send a demand letter to both the manufacturer and dealer.
- Q. Should I deny the complaints in the summons and complaint I received for an old debt even if I know the debt was mine?
- A: You just posted on line that "the debt is mine". Be careful now denying to the court that the debt is yours. Depending on the amount of money the debt collector is suing you for, you should consider hiring a lawyer. There are legal defenses available to you that you may be unaware of. If you decide to handle it yourself, I suggest trying to negotiate a one-time lump sum to resolve the entire debt. Older debts can often be resolved for much less than the full balance.
