Whether you want to make a Court Claim or to defend one, if you are a private individual, a sole trader, or a small business, this service is for you.
The so-called Small Claims Court doesn’t actually exist – it’s simply a ‘track’ in the County Court for all claims under £10,000 in value, and is designed to be a low cost means of settling disputes over money claims.
This means that legal costs, such as solicitors’ fees, are not normally recoverable even if you win your case. And this is where Small Claims Advisor comes in – we can prepare your documents, and even represent you in Court, for a fraction of the fees typically charged by solicitors.
But, before we even talk about fees, we’ll assess your case and give you a realistic estimate of your chances of success, completely free of charge. If your claim, or your defence, looks unlikely to succeed, we’ll tell you (even if it’s not what you want to hear) and save you from wasting money on court fees, and possible costs awarded against you.
