Brought to you by the:
Does someone owe you money? Your guide to taking action in a small claims court.
This is a self help guide to claiming back money through the small claims route.
The aim of this pack
This pack explains the principle of small claims, when a claim can be made, the process of claiming and the advantages and disadvantages of making a claim against someone. It will help you decide whether to issue a claim and if so how to go about it.
The pack will guide you through the process of making a claim through the small claims route in the county court. If you are pursuing another party for a relatively small amount of money and do not want to get a solicitor involved this could be the route for you.
