Suing For Unpaid Debt
Summary
You can sue someone who owes you money, even if they make minimum payments. Review any agreements, send a demand letter, and consider small claims court for amounts up to $5,000 in Maryland. If the debtor is out of state, jurisdiction may be an issue, and you might need to file in their state. Courts may allow virtual filings and hearings. If the defendants address is unknown, consider alternative service methods like email or social media. For Baltimore small claims, bring contracts, payment proofs, and communication records. Use forms like DC-CV-001 for Maryland or check Clark County Courts for Las Vegas.Full Conversation
