The company being in Calif and you being in Illiois might not be a problem, since they chose to serve an Illinois consumer, unless you signed a statement that jurisdiction would be only in Calif. And even then, many small claims courts will disregard that on the basis that they are intended to be easy forums to resolve disputes and it's better for the co to come to Illinois than for you to go to Calif. I sue out of state companies in small claims court fairly often, and never have a problem.

Ish, I've have had the same kind of thing happen to me recently. All they are doing is shaking the tree to see if any more apples might fall out. If a credit card is involved, the first thing I do is contact the card company, lodge a protest, and tell them not to pay that company a dime on my account. If no credit card, just tell Earthlink how the cow ate the cabbage, and where to put their complaint. Those kind usually back off because they know they don't have a leg to stand on. ~;=;o --haqi
