What brings you here?
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

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.
