Notices

The Money Claim Online Helpdesk can be contacted on 0300 123 1057. It does experience a high volume of calls so you may wish to consider emailing your query to ccbc@justice.gov.uk.

If you have received notification that the defendant is in a breathing space, you must not issue a new claim or commence enforcement proceedings unless you have permission from the court. If you have already issued a claim you must inform the court (please refer to the MCOL User Guide for Claimants for details on how to do this).

IMPORTANT - If you have already issued a warrant of control and the debtor enters into a Breathing Space, as well as updating your case online, you will also need to contact the County Court executing the warrant in order to prevent bailiffs from taking action. Contact details can be found here https://www.find-court-tribunal.service.gov.uk

REMINDER - A Warrant of Control may not be issued for more than £5,000 unless issued under the Consumer Credit Act.

Users are advised not to use emojis when responding to claims as the system does not recognise the images and causes issues for the claimant when viewing the response.

If your claim is for not more than £10,000, you may be eligible to use our digital service Online Civil Money Claims (OCMC) - click here for more information. You MUST NOT continue with this site if you have already started your claim in OCMC.

***** Please be aware that Money Claim Online will be unavailable from 09:00 on Saturday 23rd March 2024 to 18:30 - due to essential maintenance work to be carried out *****
