    I hadn’t considered small claims (though I’ve filed, and won, several small claims cases myself).

    It would be great to teach people how to use the small-claims system - Imagine these companies having to deal with these courts in every state.

    They’d probably default (not show up), and have judgements against them, then the complainant would be stuck trying to enforce the claim (it’s not automatic). In the end, Corp would see this as a win… Until it became a news story that “Corp X has hundreds of unresolved judgements”

      I am sure everybody’s situation is different but luckily for me as a New York Resident, between long arm statues and the interconnectedness of banks/Wall st everybody has to pay or forfeit their bank access 🤣
