Would this work for stolen phones? But i have no evidence besides witnesses and the fact my phone is gone after he left that is this a good enough?

[hossein1326]

that is all fine but what do you do when the judge is bias. Or, the other person have a lawer and you dont. In my experience I never had a claim that I could wine or collect, either judge unfairly give the equal rights to both plaintiff and the defendent or you can not collect because no one can find the defendent.

Good video. But here in Massachusetts it's much simpler... the court notifies the defendant through mail, and you only have to fill out one single form. I feel bad for people out there- it's so much more complicated!

what if defendant doesn't reply to the served summon?

[Pray4waves76]

ommg, the clerks are never tthis nice!! i do understand why i send ppl to do this on their own though

[lucasmorter]

and now i won because the defendant ignored my sommons so i got a default judgement and now i have been sending him collection letters via certified mail and he ignores those as well. this is a larger business and i know they have the money to pay so i guess i will have to try to set up a garnishment. i found my truck that was stolen in his salvage yard torn apart and half the parts off my truck sold. and i had to quit my job because my work truck was stolen. he still wont pay me

[lucasmorter]

i wish my state had a video like this. I just filed a small claims case for the first and i hope last time. but here in oregon its a little different. and the entire case is a trial by mail unless the defendant contests and it goes to hearing or trial

[utubekhiladi]
