England FAQs
Do I need a solicitor?
Not for Small Claims under £10K. The track is designed for self-representation, though you can instruct a solicitor if you wish. For larger claims, legal advice is recommended.
What are pre-action protocols?
Required steps before court. For debts, you must give the debtor proper notice and opportunity to respond. This demand letter fulfills that requirement.
What if they ignore my letter?
You can file a claim with the County Court. The letter proves you followed pre-action protocols, which protects you from cost penalties.
