ONLINE SMALL CLAIMS - What next?

scubavic

I sued a builder via the online small claims court (not only was I ripped off with over-priced work but he did the house repairs to the wrong house!!) .

He did not respond to the judgment and I have received no money. The judgement was made by default that he owes the full a amount of GBP 3,558.07.

I don't know if this is the best option of the four listed in the MSE Small Claims guide (Bailiffs; deduction from wages; Freeze assets or money in an account; Charge the person’s land or property). I suspect that appointing bailiffs is the best way to proceed but other than finding a form N323 Request for Warrant of Control), I'm not sure how to proceed as it's an online court, rather than County Court.

Please help!!!

It's not online court.... goodness me.


It's the Northampton processing centre (a sitting county court)


Just apply for bailiffs, you can use your local court now

For over £3.5k you are probably better off uplifting this to the High Cort and having an HCEO visit.

If you instruct an HCEO company from the start they can arrange everything for you.

You're right, but would still need to apply to the court for permission first.


I missed the amount and I agree for that value it's probably worthwhile
