What brings you here?

Got a letter from this centre? Most of its letters are routine admin: a claim being processed, a form to return, a date to note. A letter is not a judgment against you, and nearly every one comes with time to respond.

Pick the one that matches your situation

I've received a letter from this court

A claim form, hearing notice, judgment, or other correspondence — see how to respond.

I have a hearing or my claim has been defended

Allocation, directions questionnaires, what happens at the hearing, costs and appeals.

I can't afford the court fee

Apply for help with fees (form EX160) if you're on benefits or low income.

I owe a CCJ but can't pay it all at once

Ask the court to let you pay by instalments using form N245 — keeps you out of enforcement.

I want to clear a paid CCJ

If you've paid a county court judgment, apply for a certificate of satisfaction (form N443).

I need to get rid of a CCJ I wasn't told about

Never knew about the original claim? You may be able to cancel the judgment entirely and wipe it from your credit file.

I won my case but they won't pay

Enforce a judgment with a warrant of control, attachment of earnings, or charging order.
