Court Claims
These costs apply where your claim is in relation to an unpaid invoice which is not disputed and enforcement action is not needed. If the other party disputes your claim at any point, we will discuss any further work required and provide you with revised advice about costs if necessary, which could be on a fixed fee (e.g. if a one off letter is required), or an hourly rate if more extensive work is needed. Anyone wishing to proceed with a claim should note that:
| Debt Value | Court Fee | Our Fee (incl. VAT) | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to £5,000 | Up to £205 | £600 (£100 VAT) | £805 |
| £5001 -£10,000 | £455 | £1,200 (£200 VAT) | £1,655 |
| £10,001-£50,000 | 5% value of claim | 20% value of claim | 25% value of claim |
Our fee includes:
Matters usually take 8-12 weeks from receipt of instructions from you to receipt of payment from the other side, depending on whether or not it is necessary to issue a claim. This is on the basis that the other side pays promptly on receipt of Judgement in default. If enforcement action is needed, the matter will take longer to resolve.
