Where can you file lawsuite against a credit card company if they have done several illegal things and can you go to a local court or do you need to file in the state of the company's incorporation?

Answer

First, you have to find out that their actions were, in fact, illegal. You can do this by talking to a lawyer or by researching the Fair Debt Collection Act. If what they did was illegal, you're next step isn't necessarily to file a lawsuit. A credit corporation could bury you under paperwork that takes years to sort through and break you financially with legal fees. The more appropriate step would be to file a formal complaint with the FCC or whatever regulatory agency the corporation falls under. That agency will investigate the matter and possibly fine the company or award you damages.
