I know it will be too much money if i paid lawyer.
A: You can file a complaint. Because of the amount due you will need to file in Superior Court. If you only sue for 15K, you will be able to file suit in Special Civil part. Go to NJ Courts.org. You will need a good address to use to be able to have the complaint served.
