Actions to recover the delinquent credit account balance are filed in the jurisdiction where the Defendant resides. Plaintiff' employees would need to travel throughout the state which would cause them to be out of the office on a regular basis and therefore unable to perform other job duties. CCP 5 116.540(b) states that a corporation may appear only through an employee who is employed for purposes other than solely representing the corporation in Small Claims Court. Therefore, proceeding in Small Claims Court is not practical. 8 5.
