    There is a scottish thread on the CAG forum which explains how to go about it in Scotland, it should help you.

    Hi everybody

    Have been reading this thread and I'm a bit confused. I am claiming £4700 plus interest (approx £5600) from Bank of Scotland. They haven't replied to either of my first two letters yet.

    Can anybody tell me if i am right to pursue Bank of Scotland at the Head Office in Edinburgh even though I live in Southampton?

    Bit concerned about the £750 limit in Scotland but would welcome any advice anybody can give me. (i.e. if I can still claim through Moneyclaim am I safer to drop my interest claim and stick to under £5000 just claiming the charges?)

    Also, have had further charges in the last week or so. can I add these on when I (hopefully) get going with court claim?

    You are all wonderful on this site. Thanks in advance for such a cooperative support network.

    I would like to say thanks to martin for putting all of this information online, so that together we can get banks to abolish these illegal and unfair charges.

    I see that in england you can file small claims online, is there such a service for those of us in scotland>?

    also i have been unable to find my local county court? is there a different name for them in scotland?

    thanks in advance

    I Think it may be the Sherriff court that you are looking for
