Hi,
I have issued a county court claim after sending a late payment demand and the client ignoring it. There is now another invoice overdue for payment. Am I correct in thinking that I must issue another demand for payment and issue another claim if they don't pay which I know they won't based on not paying the other?

Multiple Invoice County Court Claim

The question is will OP need to issue a new claim for a new debt. The answer is yes. Spending £255 to amend a claim just isn’t an option when issuing a second claim is easier.
-
Not exactly because if it’s been 14 days or more and no acknowledgement of service has been filed by the defendant the OP can request Judgement in Default on the live claim.

You could apply to amend the claim for the second invoice, but you wouldn't get the cost of doing that back. If you issued a second claim the cost of that claim would be included in any judgement should you succeed and therefore recovered.
