What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? IL
I feel i have been defrauded / misled by an internet company based in California. The amount is about $700. I'm just about to file complaints with the BBB & Illinois attorney general and i'm also looking into small claims court to cover all my basis. My question is can i take a case to small claims court for a company not located in IL? I would think since the company does business with individuals in my area (even though its over the internet) that i could but i'm not sure. I've called my county courthouse. They couldn't tell me. They told me to call this legal advice hotline and the legal advice hotline told me they only advise on situations in the State.
