What form can be used against an individual to recover money?

Answer:

The answer depends on the reason you are asking to collect money. If it is due to money owed under a contract, you can file a complaint for breach of contract. For example, if it is money to compensate for injuries caused by an accident, you may file a complaint for tort damages.
