Yes, but only if you first comply with the presuit procedures of Fla. Statutes Section 828.29, also called the "Puppy Lemon Law", which is online, and which you must read. The first important portion for you starts at Sub-section (5), which provides: "If, within 14 days following... View More

If it's legitimately a limited liability company, it's unclear why you included "Jane Doe" as the defendant. Unless you have cause to believe that you can "pierce the corporate veil" (in other words get the court to hold "Jane Doe" individually liable), you... View More

The order in which you put the allegations of your statement of claim probably doesn't make any difference. But if you want to use the tool as evidence at the trial you should probably bring this up at the pretrial conference (or mediation, of mediations are used in your county) so that the... View More

Do you mean that the DEFENDANT "refused to be served"? A defendant can't simply refuse to be served by a deputy sheriff (or private process server either). If the deputy found the defendant in person, told the defendant that he or she was being served with process, and left the... View More

I'm guessing that the form of judgment is what the plaintiff's attorney sent to the judge to be signed. For some reason you didn't get a copy of the signed and entered judgment.

You were defaulted, so the plaintiff didn't need to prove its case as it would have need to... View More

The judgment is probably conformed. In 22 years of practice, I have never seen a judgment not signed or dated.

Once you default, all the " I don't remember the debt" stuff goes out the window.

The first issue here is whether Remitly breached its contract with you. You agreed to a set of terms and conditions, probably by clicking on a box on-line. You must read those terms and conditions.

You asked for a rehearing and the Court denied it. That's the end of you getting a new hearing. It may be possible to appeal the ruling, but you'd need an attorney who practices appellate law to review the case and the timelines for filing a notice of appeal are very tight.

Assuming Puerto Rico has some sort of small claims procedure, you could contact an attorney there for the purpose of suing the client in Puerto Rico. Or, depending on circumstances, you might be able to sue in Florida.

To add to Mr. Baron's response, collections is considered an ancillary lawsuit to the underlying lawsuit. If the party does not pay on the judgment, you will have to return to court to enforce it. Don't forget to record your judgment.

Good luck.

If, as you suggest, the previous law was unconstitutional, it's likely that the courts would have found it to be unconstitutional before the law was changed. In short, you don't have a case.
