Is it RIGHT for them to sue me? (gibney)

[Ric0h]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California

So I tried to sell tiffany merchandise on ebay, and I was not aware it was fake. Though I find it hard for them to sue me based on camera pictures, which were not even extremely detailed.

So yeah they want 450 from me, so I called them, and try to get in contact with the person who signed the letter. But when I call a women does not want me to talk to him and she is always avoiding me to talk to him.

I have tried several times to get in contact with him, and she answers. I have a feeling that she is signing the letters until his name or something.
Do I have to pay the fine if I can't even talk to the person who ACTUALLY signed the sue letter?

Is there something I can do? I understand I do have to pay, and yes it was my fault for not checking for genuine first. But it just sound fishy that she wont let me talk to him under any circumstances, and I am pretty sure that she is signing under his name. All of this makes me not want to pay.

Please advice.

Pay it.

You have no authority to demand anything.

You can't get past the guy's secretary... because you are only one of several thousand cases that particular law firm deals with at any one time.

You will NEVER talk to the attorney except in court.

Thank you very much

There is nothing else I can do but to pay it?

You may wait for the court to order you to pay it.

And it may be for more than $450.

How long does it usually take for them to order
me by court?
It's been well over 4 months since first letter

I also got a notice from Gibney about a software listing (unsold), they want me to answer their question (how much profit, where I got it from) and also pay $375. I am weighing my options. If you don't mind sharing, what was the language of the notice? Did you reply to their questions? And when was the last notice you got from them?
