I sent them screenshots of JustClaim’s reply and told them I’d see them in court. They paid up.
The guidance received and prompt action made this difficult process very easy — thank you! Would definitely recommend.
What stood out the most was how much they genuinely cared about my situation. Their professionalism and communication made a stressful situation much easier to handle.
Both legs of a long-haul return trip were badly delayed. The airline owed £1,560 in fixed compensation under the flight delay rules and never paid it — until the claim reached the small claims court. Paid in full.
I very much appreciate how you've handled this. I am even a law teacher at a local college, and will pass the service on!
Bought a used engine sold as tested. It arrived with broken timing gears — and so did the replacement. Refunded in full after a letter before action.
Hired out a petrol generator on the usual terms — fuel billed back on return. The customer disputed the fuel charge and stopped paying.
Five rounds of grass cutting, done and invoiced, then months of silence. Paid up once the letter landed.
£1,500 lent to a friend in 2023 and never paid back, despite repeated promises. A letter before action reached him by email and he has paid £50 every month since — £1,110 back so far, with £390 left to run.
A cleaner engaged for a holiday flat kept hold of the owner's property and would not return it. She refused to put it right, so the claim went to court — and judgment was entered against her.
She paid a buildings insurance premium in full and the other leaseholder owed a third of it under the terms of the lease. She built a claim for £515.41 and the money arrived days later.
The other side ignored the claim completely. With a default judgment days away, the full amount arrived by cheque.
A day cutting back a large laurel hedge and six hornbeam trees, agreed face to face and confirmed by message beforehand. The same customer had paid the previous job in full. This invoice went unpaid.
I sent him screenshots of what I was doing and mentioned he would end up paying more. He refunded within 30 mins.
I think it is only because they received court forms that they then sometime later returned my 2 toys.
He explained everything clearly, guided me step-by-step, and made the whole process stress-free. Truly helpful and genuinely cares about people.

Since 2025, JustClaim has helped people take legal action without needing a solicitor. We were built because too many people give up on money they're owed. Not because they don't have a case, but because the court system feels impenetrable.
