What is the name of your state? CT
I had a home built in CT that closed on March 18, 2002. State of CT law says that the builder must provide a one year warranty. Throughout the warranty period I contacted the builder several times via phone, fax, and mailings with lists of warranty items that needed to be addressed. At one point I received a letter from the builder's attorney addressing my items and setting up a plan to have them taken care of. I was never contacted again and the work was not done. About 6 weeks before the warranty period expired I sent the builder and his attorney each a 62 page document specifically describing the warranty issues and provided color photos of each item. Those were sent via Certified Mail and I have those receipts.
The warranty period expired 03/2003 and none of the work was done. I had contractors come and give me written estimates to do the work. Based on those estimates I want to sue the builder. The amount is about $10,000. without court or attorney's fees added in.
My question is:
This seems pretty straight forward. Can I take this on Pro Se? I have no idea how to file a Civil suit. I found the forms online but it seems that they are supposed to be filled out by an attorney or the court clerk. How do I initiate this lawsuit if I go it alone?
**Most importantly, what are the statute of limitations which I can file this suit?
Thank you in advance,
