An open account is an account based on continuous dealing between the parties, which has not been closed, settled or stated, and which is kept open with the expectation of further transactions. An open account is created when the parties intend that the individual items of the account will not be considered independently, but as a connected series of transactions. In addition, the parties must intend that the account will be kept open and subject to a shifting balance as additional related entries of debits and credits are made, until either party decides to settle and close the account. This form is a complaint against a guarantor of such an account.

A Missouri Complaint Against Guarantor of Open Account Credit Transactions — Breach of Oral or Implied Contracts is a legal document filed by a plaintiff (creditor) against a defendant (guarantor) in the state of Missouri. This complaint asserts that the defendant has breached their obligation as a guarantor in open account credit transactions, either through oral or implied contracts. Open account credit transactions are commonly used in commercial settings where a seller extends credit to a buyer who agrees to pay for goods or services at a later date. The guarantor, in this case, is an individual or entity that assumes responsibility for the debt if the original debtor fails to fulfill their payment obligations. Key aspects of this type of complaint may include: 1. Parties Involved: The complaint will identify the plaintiff, who is usually the creditor or the assignee of the original creditor's rights, and the defendant, who is the guarantor of the open account credit transactions. 2. Jurisdiction and Legal Basis: The complaint will state that it is being filed in a Missouri state court, citing the applicable statute or law that allows the plaintiff to bring a claim against the guarantor for the breach of oral or implied contracts. 3. Allegations: The complaint will outline the specific details of the alleged breach by the guarantor. This could include non-payment of debts, failure to meet payment deadlines, or any other violation of the oral or implied contracts. 4. Damages Sought: The plaintiff will specify the amount of money they are seeking as compensation for the defendant's breach. This may include the outstanding balance owed, interest, late fees, and any other applicable costs or damages. 5. Relief Requested: The complaint may request that the court orders the guarantor to fulfill their obligations by paying the outstanding debt and related costs. In some cases, the plaintiff may also seek legal fees and other relief deemed appropriate under Missouri law. Different types of Missouri Complaint Against Guarantor of Open Account Credit Transactions — Breach of Oral or Implied Contracts may include: 1. Single Debtor, Single Guarantor: The most straightforward scenario where there is only one debtor and one guarantor involved. 2. Multiple Debtors, Single Guarantor: This type of complaint arises when there are multiple debtors who collectively owe a debt, and a single guarantor assumes responsibility for the entire debt. 3. Single Debtor, Multiple Guarantors: In this situation, there is one debtor, but multiple individuals or entities act as guarantors, each assuming a portion of the debt or different obligations. 4. Multiple Debtors, Multiple Guarantors: This scenario involves multiple debtors who owe a debt, and multiple guarantors who assume responsibility for different portions or obligations within the debt. Each type of complaint carries its own unique circumstances and complexities, requiring tailored arguments and evidence to support the plaintiff's claim. It is essential to consult with an attorney specializing in contract law and Missouri state regulations to ensure the legality and efficiency of the complaint.
