A money claim is an option available when a person needs to recover a debt and the other party refuses to pay. In the UK, one often does this through the Small Claims Court or more formally known as a County Court Money Claim. It relates to both personal and business matters where there are unpaid debts, loans, services not provided, or invoices not paid.
In the UK, yes. A person can claim money that is owed to them even if there was no formal written contract. Documents such as emails, social media messages, invoices, or even the payment made from the bank can back up a claim in the small claims court.
Normally, in most of the cases, time frame to file a small claim in the UK is 6 years after the payment was supposed to be made. It is called the limitation period for recovery of debt under civil law.
A lawyer is not necessary for small claims. Solutions like CaseCraft AI aid consumers and freelancers in making a money claim online without the burden of exorbitant legal fees and red tape.
If the defendant does not reply after 14 days, you have the right to apply for a CCJ (County Court Judgment). This binds the defendant to pay, and this may adversely affect their credit rating.
In case a court award you a money judgment in your favor, your next step is to receive guaranteed payment. Luckily, if the other party does not pay on time, there are simple methods to enforce the ruling.
In your particular case, it’s possible to request enforcement through the court—for instance: utilising bailiffs, executing funds recovery from bank accounts, or lien placing the debt on real estate.
