allegro Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I read somewhere that a JDB or OC can only file in the county where the defendant resides OR the county where the original contract was signed. Is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stStep Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Yes - per Section 811 of the FDCPA (15 USC 1692i(a)(2)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1stStep Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Also - since you're in CA, these violations would be a Rosenthal FDCPA violation (Civ Code 1788).Civil Code 1788.15 ( is the venue violation. Damages under Rosenthal are between $100 and $1,000. Edited January 17, 2012 by 1stStep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
