Money claim N1

[Abbtt]

Hi, I am thinking to raise a small claim case against a MNO via post and I need some helps filling in the form. Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.

 

In the heading of the form (Pg1) it asks about

"In the [Do I write my local county court here or something else?]

Fee Account no. [Does this refer to my bank account number which will be used to pay the court fees? What exactly should I write here? or Can I just leave it blank?]"

 

For "Value" and "amount claimed", not a fixed or specified amount of money to be recovered as I am currently still being charged by the company until I win my case and have all my previous payments refunded. In this case can I simply write [expect to recover no more than £xxxxx] in the "Value" section, then tell the court [i expect to recover court fees and previous payments made to the company] in POC, and leave "Amount claimed, court fees, Legal representative’s costs" blank??

 

I believe that I have to send 3 copies of my claim to the local court as one will be for the court, one for the defendant and one for me right? Do I have to send any documents to support my case at this stage?

 

Thank you in advance for all your help.

Thank you Rebel11. It really helps me a lot. Just one last question, Fee Account no. [Does this refer to my bank account number which will be used to pay the court fees? ] Cannot seem to find any information regarding this part. Thank you.

It can't be your bank account account number, reason is 'where would you put your sort code'? That box is an addition to the N1 Form, I think it's for the Court to fill in, I'll double check for you.

Thank you. I've tried to google it but cannot seem to find anybody ever mentioned it before. On the form it seems that there are only 2 sections that needed to fill in by the court which are Claim no. and Issue date.

Thank you Andy, for sharing the link with me.

I personally do not want to raise the claim online but via post.

And I just really have no ideas of what this Fee Account No is referring to.

Leave it blank. It's not for individuals to worry about.

Hi,

 

I posted the N1 form (3 copies of everything and the postal order) to the court on 23rd May and expected one copy would be returned to me with my case number on very soon.

 

It's been more than a week, and I've still received nothing back from the court. I am quite worry at the moment and wondering if it has got lost in the post.

 

I would just like to ask if anybody knows how long in general it takes to receive the case number from the court please.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

What Court did you send it to?

 

Are you sure you paid the correct fee?

 

If it was the County Court Money Claims Centre in Salford then you need to give them a bit more time. Usually a 2 minimum turn around time.

Hi Abbtt

 

You need to stop worrying, it's only been 5/6 days, that's if you believe they open envelopes immediately, they probably sit there for a few days, so it's almost zero days.

Yes I sent it to the County Court Money Claims Centre. I am sure I paid the correct fee as I posted the form in the post office.

Thank you. This is my first ever money claim, and I have no ideas of how long the court takes to register and process my claim, and am worried whether the court actually received the form.

I think I will just have to be more patient and wait for a few more days.

 

Thank you for all your helps

That's complete nonsense.

 

All letters are opened by the court and if there is a cheque etc then it is dealt with on that day.

[rebel11]

Where have I said they aren't opened, I am saying they aren't opened immediately, I suspect it depends on the staffing levels, it doesn't matter if there is a cheque or not, it's to do with the volume of claims. So there's someone sifting the mail looking for the envelopes with cheques, lol.

All post is opened on the day it is received by the Court and does not sit there for days unopened like you said.

 

Applications or Claim Forms etc with cheques are pulled out and dealt with that day.

 

The rest of the post goes in a pile to be dealt with in date order.

I will wait until next week Wednesday.

Hope that I will receive my case number from the court soon....
