It sounds like you are on the right track with filing your case pro se. Since you mentioned that the papers are going to the St. Clair County Courthouse in Belleville, IL, I suggest contacting the court clerk there for detailed guidance. They can assist you with completing your fee waiver and other necessary documents.

It sounds like you're seeking clarification on some papers related to your civil case. Could you specify what type of documents you have in front of you, or what specific information or sections you need help with?
Well the first page it is a certification foe exemption for efiling
Case Rating: *
For a Certification for Exemption from E-Filing, here's some general information:
- This form typically allows individuals to file documents in paper form rather than electronically.
- You may need to provide a reason for the exemption, such as lack of access to technology.
Is there a specific section on the certification form you're finding confusing?
I mean on this page i know i put my name down as the plaintiff but the defe dant is ashley furniture store is the plaintiff now when i.list them do i put a person na.e dow
Case Rating: *
In your case, the defendant is the Ashley Furniture Store, so you should list the store's name as the defendant, not a person's name. If you need to name a specific representative, you may want to consult the court's guidelines or a legal advisor. Do you need any more information on filing your case?
