Check legal responsibility in the State or Territory that you live in. But you need to reword your question, to "Can I record a phone call with a third party when I haven't told them, then use the recording in a civil case as evidence”.
Your currently question could be seen as entrapment, as:
1) you indicate an intention to deceive;
2) you indicate that you will only use the recording if it supports your position;
3) you indicate your intention to use the recording against the 3rd party.
Finally I would delete this question, and rewrite it as this could be used by the 3rd party as evidence in this civil action.
[Below the question above is three buttons one will say "edit" it will allow you to delete the question]

it depends on the laws of the state you live in.
Some states will allow the recording if it is your phone you are recording from.
Some will allow it as long as one person in the conversation is aware that they are being recorded.
The rest won't accept the recording unless all parties in the conversation are aware they are being recorded.
this was the problem that Linda Tripp ran into. She lived in Maryland and the person she was talking to didn't know they were being recorded, so according to Maryland laws, the recording was inadmissible. Had she been living just across the border in Virginia, it would have been admissible because Virginia law allows a recording if at least one person in the conversation is aware of that they are being recorded.

No, that's Called Entrapment..It's in the Bill of Rights. You can be sued if you do it....that's why Creditors tell you that you are being recorded and that can work Both ways, in case of Lawsuit. They have to provide an unedited copy of the tape to the person recorded, if it is used in court.
