Trading Standards have nothing to do with pay and contracts.

See Citizens Advice who will point you in the direction of a solicitor experienced in pay/contract disputes.

Alternatively, issue a letter by recorded delivery giving them 14 days notice to pay up or threaten Small Claims Court Action.

If they don't pay up take action through the Court - its simple, cheap and when they lose they pay your costs -so keep a note of calls, postage etc..

Most companies give up and pay when you threaten them this way as a judgement against them affects their credit rating.

if the claim is under 5k the only costs you get back are the costs for issuing the papers you will not get back solicitors fees etc

You shouldn't need a solicitor to deal with a Small Claims Court action. The Court officials are very helpful and the paperwork is not complex.

This should help:

The following shows costs which can be claimed:

If you are registered as self employed and operating as a business this may help:

depends if they submitt a defence no large company is going to deal with it themselves they will use there legal eagles who will tie most in knots if your defending yourself on the day however if they counterclaim against you then you may be able to take it out of the small claims arena to the fast track arena where it is possible to obtain a costs order

I am just having this s**** with a clever c*** who thinks he is one up on me
he is just about to fall but to date it has cost me ?250.00 to get back ?4500 + costs

Large companies are the worst to get money out of

Sorry, that's total rubbish. How many Small Claims have you taken and just why are you having so much trouble with the claim you are currently handling?

In many years in business I initiated and saw through many claims for my employer and later for my own businesses as well as taking a couple of personal actions. Never lost a claim, found the procedure simple and often didn't even get to the first stage as for most companies, if you have a valid case, it's cheaper to settle.

It's the cowboy companies that cause the trouble and are difficult to bring to book. Even if you get a judgement you get involved with bailiffs but even the most difficult defaulter only took me 18 months to sort out - he was trying not to pay agreed consultancy fees for ?2,000 - cost him all that plus court costs and bailiff fees in the end - and then only when threatened by bankruptcy proceedings.

The simple answer here is that if companies think you are frightened, they'll stall and threaten you with all sorts of rubbish. You need to hang tough - if they owe you and it's (to you) a substantial amount, it's worth the fight.

BTW, in my experience, no Small Claims Court judge will allow a company employed solicitor to tie an individual in knots - the process just doesn't work that way. If you stick to the truth, use the simple facts and are patently being honest, the judge will not allow you to be bullied, hectored or put in a position of confusion by the opposing solicitor using legalise, high flown words or statements designed to fluster you.
