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.
