Small claims court York

[Desmond2000]

Hi. It has been years since I was in the county court in york. I am looking into making a small claim now. I can't find any online links to this and I am going to need some advice on this as well. Thanks in advance.

There is a forum link on the bottom of every Atticus post that provides plenty of information for litigants in person who are considering starting a small money claim (under £10k)

If you are unable to resolve the dispute by negotiation, then the first step is a letter before action (also known as letter before claim)

Then decide whether to use MCOL or to stick with the paper version

Before drafting the particulars of claim, research the legislation that the defendant has breached

Some online links for you

Sorry I am new to this
There is a forum link on the bottom of every Atticus post
Searching for Atticus reveals a law company based in Manchester. Not me filling a complaint within the court system as did before. You pay I believe £35

Then decide whether to use MCOL or to stick with the paper version
I don't know what MCOL is.

I thought it would be a simple case of applying to the courts and filling in the documents.

You first need to look at the facts of the case, ask yourself have I got a case?
What you are looking to achieve? Are there other 'routes' to resolve the complaint?
Courts are a last resort, if there is ADR, you need to think about using it.

This is going from bad to worse and the only way through this NOW us through a small claims court so advice for help in starting a case myself in York county court. PLEASE.

You have made a claim before. In 2013 you used N1 claim form and completed a Directions Questionnaire
Have you decided to stick with the paper version or use Money Claims Online?

Tried that. All you get is a recorded message to go on line. I need to talk to someone about the free legal advice they do at weekends and if it is still available. Nobody on reception anymore. Cut backs probably.

Maybe you need to drop in.

There is also the University of York legal advice clinic: https://www.york.ac.uk/law/legal-clinic/
