Eskanos and Adler
I've been dealing with the firm Eskanos and Adler for a few months now, settled with them after they threatened to sue me, have paid two payments thus far, and am now (hopefully not too late) wondering about my rights.

One question I have is, my debt with them is now at $1000. Would they really sue for that amount?

And, I'm in California, they are also, but they're in a different judicial district. Could they sue me being in a different district?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. thanks guys.

Oh, unlucky you!

You are in the same state those robber barons with law degrees--'cuse me!-- attorneys are licensed to practice in--CA. So, they were able to legitimately threaten suit...and can still do it if their client (or they do, if they own the debt) wants to.

You, by paying, have entered into a ex-parte "stip" (agreement) with them...and have admitted to the debt, so you would have a heck of a time defending if they do sue. The small amount--$1,000-- is no insurance: The amount in demand, even if it's miniscule, never stopped a collection law firm/their client from filing a suit to collect.

The fact they are located in a different district makes NO difference as to whether they can file suit or not---law licenses are for entire states. BUT, since it's for a consumer debt, and not for real estate, the FDCPA requires that you be sued in YOUR venue (judicial district), NOT THEIRS.
