Used at these steps

What it is for

A sworn statement that the defendant did not pay as agreed, how much was paid and the unpaid balance, filed so the clerk can sign judgment for that balance.

Who uses it

The plaintiff.

When to use it

After 15 days have passed since the Notice of Default of Payment (Form 20L) was served and the defendant still has not paid as agreed (Rule 9.03(2)).

What you need

Tick each one off as you gather it. Nothing here is saved.

Tips

  • Only file it once the full 15 days have passed.
  • Check the balance against your payment record before you swear.
  • If a payment arrived after the notice, you may choose to carry on with the plan instead.
