use the state's business registration web site to find the exact dba name
also be certain they were served in accord wwith your law there - a small claims ct. will usually have a handout or web site tellin you how to do all this
Lawyers are taught to never write a sentence without a citation to either the law or the facts right behind that proves that sentence is true. Try to do that.
e.g. On Jan. 3, 2009 plaintiff paid defendant scumbag auto dealer $150 for a new widget. Exhibit 1 (which is a copy of your cancelled check for $150 with widget noted at the time you wrote the check; you will get the check copy from your bank and it will pass the evidence rules because it is a regular business record of the bank's).
