Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Defaulting on a loan

A person has defaulted on a $50,000 loan to me. What court do I take this to for a judgement and how much does it cost to do this. Is there a way for me to get this done without having to go to CA?

Re: Defaulting on a loan

APPARENTLY THE CONTRACT OR DEBTOR IS IN CALIFORNIA AND YOU ARE IN GA. WE CAN FILE A LAW SUIT HERE. IF THE DEBTOR DOES NOT RESPOND, WE PROBABLY COULD OBTAIN A JUDGMENT WITHOUT YOUR ATTENDANCE IN COURT. PLEASE FAX ME AT (714) 363-0229 YOUR DOCUMENTATION AND I CAN CONSULT WITH YOU WITHOUT CHARGE IN DETERMINING YOUR ALTERNATIVES.

Contact an attorney in California who can file a complaint and serve the defendant. It is likely that the matter will be resolved without the necessity of trial and hence your appearance. Please call me directly at (619) 222-3504.

Re: Defaulting on a loan

Does the note have any provisions for attorney fees or where disputes will be settled? Any arbitration clauses?

Filing in Superior Court in the county where the debtor lives will be appropriate. An attorney here should be able to do everything, unless a trial ensues.

Let me know if I can help. 925-924-0100

Re: Defaulting on a loan

you go to the court where the defendant lives. attorney fees are negotiable but should not be a lot if you have a signed note.
