Paypal and small claims court

The judgment you win in a court of England and Wales can be enforced in any EU state. The European Union has ensured that judgments obtained in one EU country can be recognised and enforced in any other EU country.


Am I wrong?

Not sure, but deeply wish that I can enforce the judgment in Luxembourg to teach PayPal a good lesson.

I think you are right, I also found this info:

Well, I will get in touch with PayPal one more time once I get the judgment in hand. If no response I will be going for a short visit to Luxembourg.

I have requested a County Court Judgement, if successful I will be receiving a hard copy by post.

Do you know whether PayPal has any assets at Richmond address!

Got it, got the judgment today by post.
Now, shall I contact PayPal!
Your help guys will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Low value claims are notoriously difficult to enforce. Nobody wants the bother of chasing a small debt.

I would seriously consider if you would be throwing good money after bad. You now have a ccj against them. It might be worth just sitting tight for a couple of months and see if they notice. Alternatively you could write to their office in Luxembourg and tell them. It would be cheap and quick.

Enforcement action could cost significant sums with no guarantee of success. Have a think about things before you act.

This is what I suggested a short while ago. What you do is really your choice. Contact them, send baliffs or send a statutory demand.

Many thanks Waamo for your quick response.
The debt is less than £700, can I still serve a statutory demand!
Thanks

It needs to be for £750 or more. Baliffs fees may push your costs up. It may not be an option for you though. Like I said small value claims can be very hard to enforce.
