Hi,

I was hoping someone could answer a couple questions regarding a summons from Brown Co. Wisconsin.

I received a summons today for a bad debt.

The debt is not mine. It was for the small LLC I worked for. I was a manager and had no ownership in the company.

On the 'credit' app the service provider sent, I was the signee on the app, making the corporation liable for the terms.

Corporation went bankrupt. They are suing me.

My questions.

I am in California. They filed the lawsuit in Wisconsin. Is there an issue with jurisdiction? Don't they have to sue me in CA?

What form do I need to file as and answer to this summons?

Thanks.

If the company was located in California then Wisconsin has no jurisdiction

You are, once again, wrong. A lawsuit needs to be filed in the county in which it took place.

Please find another area of this board where opinion can be spoken. The answers given on the law board need to adhere to the law, not the rules you seem to be making up on every thread you respond on.

A just for the record I am a Para-Legal...

And I'm Santa Claus.

Once again and true to form everyone here is a critic. It is obviously the county jurisdiction but it depends on which state. You can have Ottawa County California and Ottawa County Florida you would bring the matter to the state where it originates and file the document to the appropriate county. People asking these questions are not that lame minded. A just for the record I am a Para-Legal there are instances where an application can be made outside the jurisdiction but the has to be probable grounds. Its called a change of venue.


Just for the record, a change of venue is when a case if filed and then moved to another venue, not when it's filed in a different venue.

And Para-legal is hyphenated where you are? Where exactly is that? I've read your other answers and am less interested in what Country you are in than I am in what Planet you are on.

And for the record - your 16 (wrong) answers don't give you the right to judge anyone and/or determine what is or is not true to form.

I have no idea what "You can have Ottawa County California and Ottawa County Florida" means. The same name in different places is not the question.

Oh, moderators - not a single correct answer among the 16, except on the relationship board and even then I have to wonder.

I have read the response to this question and I believe tgoble seems to provide the most sensible. tgoble is correct in stating that the employee of the company can not be held responsible for the corporate date, he is right that the claim must be filed in the state to where the debt occurred and yes he fell short stating the county. To Judykaytee tgoble never mentioned about a change of venue and that has to requested to the presiding jurisdictional court (where the application was filed) by (in this case) the defendant.

I have read the responses given by tgoble and while I wouldn't not agree with all of his answers they are founded.




This is what TGoble said - "Its called a change of venue." What don't you understand about those 6 words?

Do you post under another name?

Well if you will stop cut and paste the other peoples answer, I can delete them a lot easier.

The posters you are complaining about where the same person,

The issue here is you got a summons, please provide where the debt incurred, where the company was incorporated at. And what the terms of the debt were.

Was there any personal liablity signed in the agreement

I understand your frustration when I cut and paste an answer as part of my response. However, the other side of this is the number of times I have answered without cutting/pasting, that person has come back and changed his/her response and I appear to be answering out of left field.

Or maybe this is a better subject for a discussion board -
