Private Administrative Solution

What is'Private Administrative Process'?

Private administrative process (P.A.P) is a document, usually in AFFIDAVIT OF TRUTH form (signed in front of a notary public who verifies the identity of the signer an acknowledgement), that is sent from one man or woman to another for the purpose of settling a dispute. If the matter is very serious, the affiant (the one who signs and affidavit; the sender) may want to have a 'Jurat' at the end of the document which means the contents of the document are sworn to rather than the affiant just having his or her identity acknowledged. 

Generally, a P.A.P would consist of an initial Affidavit which states what the dispute is about, the facts as the affiant which is you, sees them and what actions would you like the respondent to take in order to settle the dispute. If there is no response, or if a response is made that is defective, meaning it did not answer the questions or address the statements made, then a NOTICE OF FAULT is sent, telling the respondent that the time is given for answering has past but that s/he is being allowed more time as a courtesy. The time now given is usually 10 or 20 days but can be as little as 3 days depending upon circumstances. The respondent can also be notified of the consequences of not answering, which would be the action you intend to take if they don't try to settle the dispute, or the amount they'll owe.

The final document, of course, is the NOTICE OF DEFAULT in which you can re-state all they've agreed to by their silence or defective response(s).

At the end of the process,
