In the uk you are asked for a number, you may ignore it but most people just fire a number in there
You are very naive.
and you are very assumptive

File a claim in small claims, get judgement, then go to the sheriff to collect.


Thanks, the judgement has already happened thanks

If you get full judgement, by the time you've paid a lawyer to go in your place (unnecessary, technically, for small claims, but you're not in the US)

No problem, i have that done already, and the sheriff to seize assets, and an auctioneer to sell them, you'll be lucky if you see $1,000.
He has substantial liquidity, i happen to know as he was blackmailing a business partner of his whom i assisted in kicking him from their business by giving him background information on this guys history

Write it off as a lesson learned. :)

Ask Cesar Perales. :lol: He's the current Secretary of State for NY, and the department was formed in 1778. :nod:

I didn't equate the Secretary of State (which I knew of, of course) with a department of state nor would my first thought be to contact the SOS for reporting a business concern. When there are fraudulent business practices in New York State one contacts the Attorney General's office. That is the office that we have always been told has the power to bring charges against said criminal businesses.
