In this case it is best to give your attorney as much information as you may have available, in that way your attorney will be able to determine what will be useful and will therefore be able to be efficient in handling your claim. Documentation showing an assignment of the claim is most important so there can be no doubt as to who the debtor is.
Your attorney will need to review copies of contracts, invoices, statements, deeds, notes, mortgages, credit applications, guarantees, estimates, loan receipts, transaction payment histories, ledgers, demand notes, correspondence received by the defendant regarding defects or defenses, memoranda of telephone calls and responses. Personal information about the debtor such as their name, last known address, aliases, spouse's name, employment and social security number will be most useful.
Documenting phone conversations with the debtor will help your attorney to determine the problems that have arisen such as broken promises to pay and thereby determine the best strategies to use and, if needed, for trial purposes.
Any documents received from the creditor need to be given to your attorney as they are important to the case as well.
