No, unfortunately they do not. Their only physical presence is in Bethlehem PA.

You will have to go to Pennsylvania to sue.

Not necessarily. Depending on the OP's circumstances, even if the company has no physical presence in NC, NC courts may have personal jurisdiction over the company in the matter. He hasn't provided enough information to make a determination.

OP: What circumstances led this company to owe you money?
