If you get served with a small claims lawsuit it is clearly labeled as such. And most small claims jurisdictions have no-cost mediation options to help people understand wtf is going on.
- jermaustin1 5y agoThe threat of a lawsuit is not a lawsuit, it is instead a demand letter that will state that if you do not pay, you will be sued. It will not say in sued in small claims, it just says you will be sued. So you would not get served to appear at a small claims court office, you will instead get a very scary letter on a law office's letter head, and you will pay the money.
- anigbrowl 5y agoYou know this, as do I. You are assuming everyone else knows it too, and knows enough to say 'eat my shorts, file a small claim or GTFO.' It's not the job of journalists to educate folk in this position, though a good journalist would point out such relevant facts to assist readers of the article who might be in a similar position nor or later. The primary job of the journalist is to report on the situation of their story subject, which might include a lack of financial or legal literacy.
