They will if the initial investigation by the ICCC shows cause that another agency should intervene. Hence my comment " do not directly investigate".

First step in civil lawsuit?
First you need to identify the venue to file in. This would be the civil court that handles civil issues in the city which you are suing in. For instance, if you lent money to a friend who is in another city than you, then the venue you file in is the city the transaction took place. Filing in the wrong venue means you have to start all over again. Once you identify the venue go to the small claims court and pick up a small claims form for the plantiff (you). Fill out the form and have the court clerk verify it is complete, correct, and pay your court fees. You then have to serve the defendant (the person you are suing) a copy of your case (the forms you just filled out). The court clerk will be able to help you. Some states have very strict guidelines as to how a person can be served. If it is not done properly you have to start over. You don't want to get to court and find out that the defendant was improperly served and have your case thrown out. Online court documents can be found on the courts website.
