If
you have any questions
which are not
answered on this
page or within
the small claims
debt web
site pages we
would love to
hear from you
at : admin@small-claims-debt.co.uk.
Will
small-claims-debt
be
making
any
additional
charges
above
those
published
on
this
web
site?
There
is an up to date
list of current
court fees charged
at our fee-costs
page including
a live example
illustrating the
fact that all
your court costs
are refundable
when you win your
case.The district
judges
will usaually
award costs. Our
own initail Hard
legal letter fee
will always be
refunded against
our very
reasonable commision.
Remember our email
legal letter is
always sent free
of charge.
Please take note
that depending
on the progress
of your claim
there may be additional
court fees to
pay before the
allocation of
a court hearing
or for enforcing
judgments.
.
Will
we
always
have
the
same
consultant?
Yes.
Our consultants
have a limited portfolio
of clients in order
that they may concentrate
on our clients'
needs on an individual
basis.
Can
small-claims-debt
advise
us
on
existing
legal
issues?
Please
note that we do
not offer specific
legal advice. It
may be appropriate
to refer you to
a specialist
solicitor. However,
we can provide procedural
advice particularly
if you already have
a judgment and
require
enforcement
or are awaiting
a hearing and need
to know how to conduct
the
court procedures.
In
the
event
of
things
going
horribly
wrong
will
you
assist
with
our
negotiations
with
the
court
or
the
other
side?
Yes.
In all cases it
is better to persuade
your debtor to come
to an agreement
with you before
it becomes necessay
to go to court.
That is where the
small claims debt
service can be most
effective as a third
party.
If
I
lose
will
I
have
to
pay
costs
to
the
other
side?
The
District Judge has
the option to award
travel expenses,
loss of earnings
and interest to
the other side.
If the other side
have legal representation
the judge will decide
just how essential
this was before
making
a costs decision.
However, if the
Claimant ( the person
bringing the claim
against the debtor)
brings an unsubstantiated
claim to the court
or is proved to
be telling lies,
or misrepresents
the facts the judge
may indeed frown
on
such behaviour and
could award all
costs to the other
side. Make sure
you have evidence
to back up
your claim.
I
live
abroad.
Can
I
make
a
claim
in
England
&
Wales?
Yes,
but only if the
Defendant (person
you wish to claim
against) resides
in England or Wales.
