Small Claims Court guide
Comments

Wealdroam, I know my post was a long one, but what I am basically asking is how do I go forward from here? I made my Small Claim through MoneyClaimOnline but there is very little clear guideance on how to progress now.
I have received Part Admissions from both My "Friend" and her husband, both admitting and prepared to pay £116, but there is no clear button or guidance on how I go about accepting this - and as its Sunday I thought I would ask the kind people of the forum seeing as I cannot find anything clear on the net.
If my request is in the wrong place I am sorry.Donna
Economy; careful management; providence. Whether you call it thrifty or frugality it all comes down to getting more for your money.0 -
Update - with court date fast approaching on the 29th, we were contacted today by the mediation service...Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.0

Hello. I would really appreciate some advice on my current situation. Long story short, I have issued a claim through money claim online against a roofer who did some poor work and left a lot of damage on our roof which had to be repaired by another roofer. Today, I received a text message from him saying "I have gone bankrupt, good luck getting what I haven't got."
Is this it? Is there nothing more I can do? I am seriously out of pocket and am now in debt as a relative loaned me the money to repair the damage. If anyone has any experience or advice I would be most grateful!0 -
Update - mediation went nowhere, hes still only offering to take the vehicle away and attempt anothet (3rd) repair. All paper work supporting our claim has now gone to the local court and a copy sent to the defendant read for court date of 29th JulyPlease forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.0

Check that he really has gone bankrupt obviously. If so, nothing that you can do other than go on his list of creditors."If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Update - court date is 29th July, but we'venot received the defendents documents supporting his case.
What should we do now?Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.0 -
UPDATE!!!!
The judge found in our favour! Because we had done everything correctly and had proof - ie the dealer MMC Mansbridge Motor Company if Welwyn Garden City had attempted to make a repair and despite that the vehicle had failed again leading to us formally rejecting it. We were awarded a full refund of all monies paid to them plus court costs but not interest or the cost of the return trips i had to make to take OH to work.Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.0 -
Hi
I live in Australia and am owed $US 2500 by a resident in England.
He has admitted in emails that he owes me this money but has not done so.
I know the village that he lives in but not the address.
Questions:
Can I as a non Uk resident use the Small Claims Court in UK?
Do I need his address?
if so, how can I find this?
Cheers

Please could anyone tell me the legalities of this matter and whether I can get the money back for both my boys through the Small Claims Court.
You have 2, maybe more problems. Firstly not knowing the amounts currently invested for your sons, you do not know how much to claim and whether the amounts are within MCOL limits.
Secondly, you would need to check if the money invested by your mother belongs to her or your sons. A knowledgeable person at Nationwide should be able to answer this.
A final point. If a claim can be made, as your son is over 18, he should be making the claim rather than you.
Are you and your mother not on speaking terms? Can you not phone her?If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0
