The information in this section is aimed at debtors owing debts of no more than $6000 (which is the current limit of claims in the Civil (Minor Claims) Division of the Magistrates Court of South Australia).
The information is largely reproduced (with permission) from the booklet Going to Court for a Debt? by UnitingCommunities.
If owe a debt to a subcontractor or supplier in the building and construction industry, then you may be facing a claim under the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 2009 (see 'Video resources').
Many of us go through a time when we cannot afford to repay money we owe. However, if you are being pursued for a debt which you believe you do not owe, you should question the debt without delay (see 'Disputing a debt').
