IndiraMehta Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 California Civil Code Section 1526 - California Attorney Resources - California Laws This link goes to the text of the Restrictive Endorsement law.At work, my boss got a letter from a collection company. She said that she mailed a check to the collectors (located in Pennsylvania) with a Restrictive Endorsement for $10.00 because she thought the last invoice from the original creditor (a glass company) mailed to us (amount $131.00) was incorrect because half of the glass vases we ordered were broken on arrival (They agreed to credit her account for the damage, but apparently never did). We are in California.The florist I work for is an LLC formed in Delaware, but registered in California with the secretary of state. The guy at the collections company said that since her company is based in Delaware, that the California Restrictive Endorsement rule doesn't apply.Can she still use the Restrictive Endorsement? There are photos of the broken vases from *the moment the box was opened* to prove the goods were damaged. The box was shipped from out of state into California, if that makes any difference.

IndiraMehta Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I guessed as much. Yet another example of sneaky collections-speak.The business already cashed the check, so I think everything is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is probably making just over min wage plus commission. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
