Civil suits are filed in civil court in the city or county where the defendant resides, whether the plaintiff is a creditor or the *"injured" party.
The time frame between the filing of a suit and when it is heard varies greatly between jurisdictions. Most state courts have backlogs of civil suits that being the case such matters might take years before they are resolved.
The time in which a creditor has to file suit against a debtor is regulated by the statute of limitation laws of the state where the debtor resides.

"Charges" usually means criminal matters as opposed to civil matters. Go to your local police station and swear out a complaint charging the other person with tresspass. A policeman will help you with the paperwork. For civil trespass, you have to prepare an appropriate complaint according to the local court rules, file it with the court then serve it with a summons on the other person. A civil court worker probably will not help you prepare civil papers unless it is a small claims court. But every court is different, so check with yours.
