I suppose that if you invent your own intent to sue letter you can do just about anything you want. On the other hand such a letter would probably just get you ignored if not laughed at. I don't use or recommend using a self invented letter in which one simply says something to the effect that they intend to file a lawsuit. I downloaded mine from the Cornell University Law School web site several years ago. It attempts to accomplish several things and is most definitely not just some simple little letter. Not only does it say that a lawsuit will be filed but also includes an option to avoid the costs of service of summons but also includes a full blown federal case all ready to go file. Using that kind of an intent to sue letter any durn fool ought to get smart and come to the table but surprisingly enough I've yet to run into a debt collector or a lawyer smart enough to realize the danger they face and actually do anything but ignore it. In my personal opinion, anybody so stupid that they would simply ignore such an obviously imminent threat is probably far too stupid to walk and chew gum at the same time. (LOL). But they do so the only remedy is to wait the prescribed length of time to see if they will respond or not and since I don't like to fool around with them I'd just as soon forget about all that and go pull the trigger and be done with it. I've seen some of them so stupid they didn't realize they had been sued even after having been served by a U.S. Marshall. Or at least so they claimed after default judgment had been rendered against them and they come back asking for a rehearing and a chance to defend. The sad part is that the judges usually take pity on them and grant their motion for a rehearing. Crazy but it happens all the time. I've seen more outrageous crap pulled on Pro Se defendants by the courts that it sometimes just gets downright sickening. But my point is why bother with an intent to sue? Why not just go pull the trigger and be done with it?
