Answer:
A lawsuit for default on a promissory note begins with filing a complaint in court. This complaint outlines the breach of contract and requests damages. You typically file the complaint in the jurisdiction where the defendant lives, where the contract was made, or as specified in the contract.
In your case, you are seeking $32,000. The complaint should detail the unpaid balance, any interest, court costs, attorney fees, and other damages as outlined in the contract. After filing, you must serve the complaint to the defendant and attach a certificate of service to prove it was delivered.
Since court rules and filing fees can vary, it's advisable to contact the clerk of courts in your area for specific guidance.
