Small Claims Debt's Success Fee (commission)
space


Small Claims Debt charges just 12% of the net sum recovered. That means that we do not charge you commission on recovered court fees, only the actual debt. We do request £50.00 advance commission on issue of proceedings to cover our expenses. This is additional to the £15.00 starting fee, and both are fully refundable against your final commission being 12% of the net sum recovered.

Please note that our minimum charge is £50.00 payable when you decide you would like our assistance in managing your small claims court claim.
