The cause of action is listed in the Florida rules of procedure. This would be in circuit court. Do you know how to file and litigate your own suit?

Hi:

If you have a dully executed promissory note, first you must send a written notification demanding payment. Then if you want to proceed without an attorney, the florida bar website or other internet websites should have a form summons and complaint that will have to be completed and filed in the Circuit court with the filing and serving fees paid. This still will not guarantee that you will get your money but it will get the case into court.

Good Luck
