Small Claims

I want to start a judgment recovery business in Michigan. I was told that I cannot represent myself in small claims court, as a third party assignee on a money judgment. (Supposedly, because small claims court isn't a court of record.) If, this is true, and I can't work this business on the small claims level, can I do the business in any of the higher courts.

I won a judgment in small claim court in California against a corporation. How can I collect my money?

Should I pursue the following case in small claims court? is it worth my time or am I thinking about the law incorrectly.I paid a deposit for 2 children for daycare for the summer (_400$). This week I got into an argument with daycare and they have asked us to not come back after the end of the semester. However, they will not be refunding my deposit either. To me this is theft as I am paying for a service which they unilaterally cancelled. Am I incorrect?The argument was over one of my children. They asked me to come pick him up as he was sick. I came to get him. When I got there he seemed fine. I asked if they could take his temperature again. They refused multiple times. Eventually relent and I took my child home a few minutes later. Their claim is that I did not cooperate and I can therefore be expelled with no claim to my money. The one mistake I made was that one point in the argument after the lady turned her back on walked away from me saying 'I am not going to argue with you about this I am in charge.' I told her 'You will not handle me that way little girl.' I was sitting down and not raising my hands. Not, that she could see because her back was to me. They are also claiming that this statement was a threat. To my understanding and reading of cases this does not constitute a threat. An insult which i should not have done - yes. But, not a threat. Since they put this in writing this would constitute libel would it not?Please, understand. This place just a few weeks before sent my son home sick even though we had just come from the allergist who said that he was not ill and only had allergies. Despite that information. They sent him home the same day with a low grade (99 degree) temperature. Again today, they claimed he had a 99.3 (later they changed their story to 99.5 and lastly to 99.7) degree temperature. I think it is completely reasonable that I ask them to retake it.I live in Travis county. The childcare is in Williamson county.

I got a new home four years and three months ago. Kitchen cabinets have a five year warranty (NC Manuf). The finish is chipping off after one year. I called manufacturer and received no response. Second year I had factory representative out and took pictures. He said that he 'had never seen this problem before'. Then sent (2) of my doors to factory for inspection, they were never returned to me. Factory sent/replaced with two new doors that do not match cabinets. They said they would return the original doors and have not done so. There has been no response in past year. Can I sue in Small Claims court to have all doors replaced or new cabinets installed? I have documented the process. Please advise as the warranty term is five years and I have been requesting help from manufacturer since the first year...lots of talk but no resolution. I would be happy with all new doors installed but at this point I am upset.

In medical malpractice suits, I know that an expert witness must be provided by the plaintiff with proper notification of his/her credentials within a certain time before trial. However, in small claims court in Texas, does this requirement pertain? In other words, I have filed a case in small claims court - does the requirement for hiring and presenting an expert witness exist in small claims courts?
