Debt Collection Lawsuit Research Guide

ADVERTISEMENTS
The King County (WA) Law Library has an excellent: Debt Collection Lawsuit Research Guide. The state law links are to Washington State laws, but the other information and federal law links apply to everyone. There is also a podcast with additional information on this subject.

Excerpt from the research guide: ?What is a Debt Collection Lawsuit?

A debt is a sum of money owed by one person to another. A lawsuit is a legal action by one person or entity against another person or entity, which is decided in a court of law. A debt collection lawsuit is started in a court by a ?cause of action? as the particular amount of money owed. The person or entity starting the lawsuit is the plaintiff. (Definition from: http://dictionary.law.com/).

A debt collection lawsuit is initiated when a summons (notice that a lawsuit has been filed and an explanation of how to respond) and complaint (initial request or plea to a court in a civil matter) are filed in a court. The summons and complaint are served (that is, delivered) to the defendant (person who is being sued)?.? (link to full research guide)
