Re: Closing a checking account so the poker site can\'t collect
Since when is there no statute of limitations on fraud?
Depending on what state, and when you knowingly defrauded, it varies from two to six years....tops. What this dude did is illegal, and immoral, but it aint murder. Get it? By the way jiv, what will probably happen is the nightmare of a collection agency hounding you to death.

Re: Closing a checking account so the poker site can\'t collect
[ QUOTE ]
I know this is against the law, but has anyone actually gotten into trouble for doing this? I got carried away with my gambling problem and don't even have the $2000 in my account that they will try to collect on. I did a deposit online where they just deduct the amount from my checking account directly. The stupid thing is, and this is why I know I have a real gambling problem, even if I won playing poker with that $2,000 I deposited I never would've been able to collect it since they wouldn't payout until they got the deposit. My only option right now is to close the account before they try to collect since if I don't do it the NSF fee's will start to pile up. What are the odds that an offshore gambling company would try to prosecute me? I would think pretty slim. [/ QUOTE ] You have nothing to worry about. All they'll do is send a couple people to break your legs. After that you'll get to park in all the close parking spots. Its win-win!

Pokeraddict has it exactly right about PP selling the bad debt to a domestic colletions agency. I work for Citigroup as an analyst in the collections division and this how it normally operates. I hate to tell you this but this debt is not going away for a long time. If the first agency can't collect, they'll sell it to another agency. I've witnessed first hand debts that have gone five agencies deep and the debt was finally collected. [/ QUOTE ] Im a collections manager. (notice my title) I could buy OP's debt and have a summons to appear in court served to him (or his parents if he is -18) by ...next thursday. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Did you blow the money yet? Obviously you could give it back and pay off what you lost so far.

Re: Closing a checking account so the poker site can\'t collect
He obviously blew it all. If he didn't he should just bet it all at blackjack until he either has $2000 again or is broke. If he goes broke then he should hide before the site sells his debt and then someone comes and cuts a finger or two off.

Re: Closing a checking account so the poker site can\'t collect
An offshore company such as PartyPoker WILL NOT come after you or ruin your credit if you choose to close your checking account. Doing that makes you scum, but there will be no legal ramifications. There is a jurisdiction clause in Party's T&C which states that all matters will be resolved in Antigua. They would have to sue to there and Antigua's long arm statute will not extend to the US. Get help and pay off the debt, but if you really can't come up with the money, get help and tell PP to screw themselves.

Re: Closing a checking account so the poker site can\'t collect
Your probably a collections manager in U.S. am I correct? Debts made in other countries are not enforcable in our court systems. To do so would burden our courts needlessly for matters that do not concern the US courts. The only course of action is to sue villan in Angtigua, but that judgment means nothing in this country.
