Download as PDF

Una demanda legal de cobro de deudas es una demanda legal donde alguien (el demandante) lo está demandando (el demandado) por no pagar una deuda. La demanda legal empieza con la presentación de una queja y la notificación de esa queja a usted. El tipo de queja más frecuente en una demanda legal de cobro de deudas es una queja no verificada. Una queja verificada es aquella en la que hay una declaración después de la firma del abogado o del demandante en la queja que dice que está firmada bajo pena de perjurio indicando que las declaraciones allí son verdaderas. Una queja no verificada no contiene esta declaración. Si recibió una notificación con una queja verificada, puede comunicarse con Public Counsel para que lo ayude a dar una respuesta. Esta guía tiene el objetivo de ayudarlo a responder a una queja no verificada en una demanda legal de cobro de deudas.
