GFT Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 I was involved in a dispute over an item I sold on ebay 9 months ago for $600.The buyer filed a complaint and paypal took his side and has been after me forthat money ever since. Paypal has stopped all human collection calls but Irecently received a letter from Eskanos & Adler in California that says they arecollecting on the debt and to reply if I dispute. Well I do dispute it but I want toknow if I should reply or not?? Would an out-of-state law firm bother suing overa debateable $600 disagreement? Paypal doesn't have my SS# if that matters.

hawaiiguy Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 They are most likely just the CA for Paypal, a lawfirm would have to be admitted in your state or in your state to sue you. I would DV them and see what they come back with. Paypal can get your SSN if they want, so I wouldnt bet on the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fancyfish7 Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Hi, This is my first posting. I found this site as I was searching for information about this Law Firm. I received the first call on my answering machine and was wondering what to expect from them. I read a lot of negative comments through this forum, as well as from the internet and from what I read, it would seem that I will be going through some tough times with them. Presently I am working with a debt consolidator to settle my debt. I have also left a message with them that I had received a phone call from Eskanos & Adler. I do not think my debt consolidator agent would be calling them since the account they have set for me to pay off my debt have insufficient amount to cover the debt. Should I return the call? I am at a lost here. Oh and I live in California.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarolinaBlueEyes Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 not that I think they would bother with this debt but Hawaii guy is wrong.. I was sued by lawyers out of state.. and yes they can.. the simply farm it out to a local firm. In many states a CA has to be licensed but lawyers have carte blanche.. assume nothing just because they are out of state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
