South Carolina MV 56 Procedures for Filing Small Claims is a set of procedures that allow individuals to file civil claims in the Magistrate Court of South Carolina for claims that total $7,500 or less. The procedures are designed to allow individuals to pursue small claims without hiring an attorney. There are three types of South Carolina MV 56 Procedures for Filing Small Claims: filing the claim, serving the claim, and attending the hearing. Filing the claim involves completing and filing the MV 56 form with the Magistrate Court Clerk. The form should include the names of the parties involved, a statement of the claim, and the amount of money being claimed. Serving the claim involves delivering the claim to the other party or parties. This is typically done by certified mail, in-person service, or publication in a newspaper. Attending the hearing involves appearing in court on the assigned date. This allows both parties to present their case and to present evidence. The court will then review the case and make a decision based on the evidence presented. The decision can be appealed if either party disagrees with the court’s ruling.
