Hello,
We are business in California who has a debt to a company in New Jersey. They have a hired a lawyer to collect their debt from us. The lawyer is using a pay or go to court in New Jersey tactic. Can they summons me to a court in New Jersey if we are in California? The debt is about $7000 and I offered a settlement of $5000, will this amount warrant a law suit? I know they don't have a contract with us over the product or payment agreement. Would I need to representment myself in NJ and would I be responsible for their attorney fees?
Thank you,
Bob
