hoping to do it myself Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Here is something I discovered, that I wish to share with all you, in hopes of it benefiting at least someone--A judge must throw out any case where a lawsuit is brought by a corporation or business entity that isn't properly licensed. As you know, Cohen & Slimowitz have a bogus suit against me, (I'm not even the debtor) for a plaintiff called MRC Receivables. The problem is MRC are not authorized to do business in New York, (where I reside) therefore, they cannot use C & S, or anyone for that matter, to bring about a lawsuit in New York--that would be illegal! LOL--if they do sue, it must be thrown out of court! Hope this helps someone. Can't wait to see C & S in Federal Court! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoping to do it myself Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 BUMP--and clarification: In New York, a plaintiff bringing about a lawsuit as a debt collector, must be licenced as a debt collector. If not, the case will be thrown out whether you owe the debt or not--that is the law. I'm not sure if that's the case in any/all other states, but it's something worth investigating right away when you receive a summons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olywa Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Can you cite some type of law, statute, civil procedure that addresses this "law." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
