A Florida Statement of Claim (For Money Lent) is a legal document that a creditor can file in the state of Florida when a debtor has failed to repay a loan or other debt. It is also known as a Complaint for Money Lent, and it serves as the initial step in the collection process. The Statement of Claim must include basic information about the debt, such as the amount, the type of loan, the date of the loan agreement, and the terms of repayment. This document is a form of civil litigation, and it is typically sent through certified mail or hand-delivered to the debtor. There are two types of Florida Statements of Claim (For Money Lent): the Simple Statement of Claim and the Verified Statement of Claim. The Simple Statement of Claim is the most basic form of the document and is used to inform the debtor of the debt. The Verified Statement of Claim is a more formal document, and it requires the creditor to provide proof of the debt, such as a copy of the loan agreement. If the debtor disputes the debt, the Verified Statement of Claim must be accompanied by evidence that the debt is valid.
