I have a friend (who will hopefully be joining us soon) that told me a very funny story today. I though everyone would enjoy it, so here goes.

My friend is being sued by a debt collector (he did not use the UCC process) for a measly $1500 alleged debt. Of course he sent them debt validation request, which were ignored.

Anyway, in preparing for court, he realized that the debt collector was chartered in Nevada, and not registered to do business in his home state. According to the law in his state, a company must register to do any business in that state.


So, here is where he got creative. He got a 3rd party to go and register that name in his state. He says he cannot wait until court day, when he gets to tell the judge that this debt collector is not registered to do business in the state, and are using the name of another party!

I told him if they are mailing out claims/invoices and filing court paperwork in another parties name, smells a bit like mail fraud to me...

I don't know if it will work, but it sure as heck made me laugh nice and hard! A great example of creative thinking.
