Don’t Be Tricked by Special Wording on Checks!

Don’t sign below the endorsement line unless you want to accept the check in full settlement. Although you may be tempted to endorse the check and deposit it, if you’re owed $1000 and you only received half of the amount, you could cost yourself the outstanding balance.

Avoid Problems with Special Wording on Checks

You probably never considered a check to be two-dimensional. It’s just a piece of paper, and all that matters is that the information is filled out on the face of the check, right? Not so fast!

You need to watch out for special language that may appear on customer checks, for example:

“Paid in full”

“In full settlement”

“Full and final payment”

How to Serve a Suit on a Hiding Defendant

Alternate service works best against a defendant who’s hiding from the process server, not one who has moved to parts unknown. If the defendant no longer resides or does business at the address you’ve listed on the summons, skip trace him or her before seeking an order for alternate service. Otherwise you may find yourself fighting a motion to set aside your default, or unable to register your judgment for enforcement in the new state where the defendant resides, based upon the claim of improper service.

Serving the Suit on a Hiding Defendant

What happens if you can’t get your defendant served? Does your defendant fail to sign for certified letters? Does mail comes back marked “return to sender” (or “address unknown,” or “no such number”)?

If your process server can’t find the defendant, do you have to get the documents served in order to move forward?

There is another way! Find out here!

Should You Hire an Attorney? Consider Your Case Complexity & Cost.

 

When you choose whether to handle a case yourself, two factors usually dominate your decision-making process:

1. Cost: How much will it cost to litigate your case, with or without a lawyer?
2. Complexity: Is the case too difficult or too time consuming to handle yourself?

Ideally, before you file your case, you should have a pretty good handle on the cost of getting a judgment and whether the case is simple enough for you to handle without a lawyer. At a superficial level, the question of cost seems easy, but cost increases with the complexity of a case.
