DocDon Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 However, they may try to use the SOL where the debt was acquired (especially if the SOL there is longer).There is a lengthy discussion on this somewhere in the archives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retmar Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 As I understand it and also as to how the law is written, the OC/CA/ATT has the option of suing in either place, and, as Doc mentioned, they have the right to choose the longest SOL.BUT, it has been said that they cannot cause the consumer to travel beyond a reasonable distance. Since no where can it be found exactly what is considered "reasonable", how can one argue as to how far they must travel. I am under the impression it cannot be more than 50 miles, yet, it was said to be 100 miles. Which one is correct? I would assume the place to argue this is in the court at the time of appearance.
