A claim form, hearing notice, judgment, or other correspondence — see how to respond.
I have a hearing or my claim has been defended

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.
