The court where you moved to doesn’t have jurisdiction. The types of damages you can recover in small claims are limited. It’s usually just actual damages.

- kingcharles 4y agoThank for you some sense. It's usually just compensatory damages, which is limited to just the cost of whatever the item was. You can ask for punitive damages to punish the other party, but that would be rare to get that without the other side having done something very malicious.
- JohnHaugeland 4y ago> The court where you moved to doesn’t have jurisdiction. Yes, it does. Banks are federally regulated. . > The types of damages you can recover in small claims are limited. In most of the country it's five figures, which is enough to get a bank to stop screwing around
- leephillips 4y agoAre you saying that you can sue in any jurisdiction, regardless of where the tort took place, and compel the bank’s officers to appear in court? > In most of the country it's five figures I said the types of damages, not the amount (which is also limited).
