If they are located in Illinois, and you are located in Iowa...you need to see if the small claims court in Iowa would have jurisdiction over the foreign defendant. In Connecticut you can not sue a foeign defendant in small claims court unless he has property located in Connecticut. See if Iowa has a similar rule. If so, you will probably need to sue in an Illinois court if you decide to sue in small claims. Otherwise you may have to file in the superior court in Illinois, and depend on your state's long arm jurisdiction. The easiest way is to sue in Illinos
