Scam warning

Scammers are mimicking genuine HMCTS phone numbers and email addresses. They may demand payment and claim to be from HMRC or enforcement. If you're unsure, do not pay anything and report the scam to Action Fraud.

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

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 won my case but they won't pay

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