Legal Question in Consumer Law in Massachusetts
contract with out of state company
Wehave a signed contract with a company out of state thatwe have done business with. We are in Mass. and they are in Illinois. The signed contract we have is for us to be paid in full for their services by 10-31-08(they sold a vehicle for us). They have sold the vehicle, they have been paid by the party that purchased the vehicle from them, and they have not honored the contract as far as paying us what we are due. This is going on 6 months. We can not really afford to sue them, is there anything we can do? If we do hire an attorney, does it have to be an attorney from their state? Wehave even tried to come to a settlement but it does not seem to be working. I am trying to research consumer protection rights. Open to your advice. Thank you!

Re: contract with out of state company
You should consult with an attorney who could review all the relevant documents and determine whether you might have a consumer protection action against this out of state company that might entitle you to multiple damages and the recovery of your attorney's fees. Good Luck!

Re: contract with out of state company
You should schedule an appointment with an attorney.
If you cannot afford to sue them, and you have not consulted with an attorney, why would they settle with you?
Depending upon the specific facts of your situation and the purported contract that you entered into: (i) you may be entitled to sue in Massachusetts, and (ii) a Firm may be willing to take the case on a contingent basis.
You should meet with an attorney before giving up.
