Hi Henry, Well, I know I CAN win. In MA, I can sue any company in the US here locally. No, I do NOT have to go to that state to sue them. We have a long arm statute that is invoked via what is called a "93A" demand letter. When I go to court, and it will typically be small claims court, and they do not show up...I will automatically win. They can only appeal on a matter of law (ie, I never bought anything from them in the first place, and I was making the suit up), not because they didn't show up. If they fail to pay, then they are in contempt of court, and prohibited from doing business in MA until they do pay. I would suspect other states have similar statutes.
