1. If the debt is based upon a promissory note, a copy of the promissory note is very helpful. This is especially true of you are seeking an amount of money in excess of the amount specified in the state's Statute of Frauds that requires such contracts to be in writing.
2. If your claim is based upon a verbal contract, keep in mind that you, as the Plaintiff, has the burden of proving the claim. Therefore, you would have to testify specifically about how the debt arose, and if there were any witnesses to the transaction, they should as well.
3. If your claim is based upon work done for someone, or goods sold, a copy of the bill or invoice would be important. You would also have to authenticate it by testifying about the work that was done or the goods that were sold, and the terms of payment. The document(s) alone are not sufficient.
This is a sampling of the kinds of evidence that would be useful, but the precise evidence is determined by the underlying transaction that gave rise to the debt.
