Washington Notice of Small Claim is a legal document used to alert the defendant of an impending lawsuit. It is typically filed in a Washington small claims court, which is a court of limited jurisdiction that deals with civil disputes involving small amounts of money. The Washington Notice of Small Claim informs the defendant of the complaint and requires an answer to be filed in response. The notice must include the name, address and telephone number of the court, the name of the plaintiff and defendant, the amount of the claim, a description of the claim, and the date by which the defendant must answer. The two types of Washington Notice of Small Claim are the Summons and Complaint and the Notice and Demand for Payment. The Summons and Complaint is the document used to initiate a lawsuit and inform the defendant of the details of the complaint. The Notice and Demand for Payment is used when the plaintiff seeks to collect a debt from the defendant. It informs the defendant of the debt and informs them of the deadline to make payment.
