Frequently Asked Questions

How do I sue someone who owes me money?

File a claim in small claims court in the county where the debtor lives or where the agreement was made. You’ll need documentation of the debt — IOUs, contracts, text messages, or bank records showing transfers.

What if the person I sue doesn’t pay?

If you win and the defendant doesn’t pay, you can pursue collection methods including wage garnishment, bank account levies, or property liens. The court doesn’t collect for you — you must enforce the judgment.
