PLEUS, C.J.
John and Joan Verkaik (“the Verkaiks”), owners of two Florida seed companies, sued Osadchuk, a Canadian farmer, for failure to pay amounts due on a two promissory notes. Osadchuk appeals the denial of his motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. He argues that neither failure to pay a debt due in Florida nor signing a contract with a forum selection clause, when standing alone, are sufficient to confer personal jurisdiction under constitutional due process jurisprudence. However, the trial court correctly found that when these two factors are combined, they are sufficient to satisfy due process. See, e.g., Global Satellite Communication Co. v. Sudline, 849 So. 2d 466, 469 (Fla. 4th DCA 2003); Desai Patel Sharma, Ltd. v. Don Bell Indus., Inc., 729 So. 2d 453 (Fla. 5th DCA 1999). Because Osadchuk signed promissory notes in which he agreed to pay in Florida and consented to personal jurisdiction in Florida, he should have reasonably anticipated being haled into court in Florida. Global, Desai. Accordingly, we affirm the order denying Osadchuk’s motion to dismiss.
AFFIRMED.

Brooks v. State, 969 So. 2d 238 (Fla. 2007)…under review, the Fourth District Court of Appeal, acting en banc, unanimously applied the stricter “could-have-been-imposed” standard. See Brooks v. State, 930 So. 2d 835, 836 (Fla. 4th DCA 2006). The court certified conflict with Wilson v. State, 913 So. 2d 1277 (Fla. 2d DCA 2005), which applied the “would-have-been-imposed” standard. Id.

Brooks v. State, 930 So. 2d 835 (Fla. 4th DCA 2006)…cond district has held that a trial court must grant relief under rule 3.800(a) where the record reflects a scoresheet error, unless the “record establishes that the sentence ‘would have’ been the same under a corrected scoresheet.” Wilson v. State, 913 So. 2d 1277, 1279 (Fla. 2d DCA 2005) (citation omitted). Although the “would-have-been-imposed” harmless error test is proper for rule 3.850 motions, State v.

Gisi v. State, 948 So. 2d 816 (Fla. 2d DCA 2007)…l near the low end of the guidelines, so too should the new sentences; in other words, the resentencing proceeding should be more of a formality than a “de novo” sentencing hearing. The case law on this issue dictates otherwise. See Wilson v. State, 913 So. 2d 1277, 1279 (Fla. 2d DCA 2005) (noting that the defendant may or may not obtain a different sentence upon resentencing based on a corrected scoresheet). As a corollary to this argument, Gisi claims the new sentences, if not capped at the low end of the g…
