I thought you couldnt do small claims court for claims over 5k?

Sorry, figure of speech.

Linky.

Don't involve the client, and don't name and shame until you've got the money - that could be construed as violating the clause by behaving in a way prejudicial to the interests of the agency

First step - demand evidence that you've violated the clause.

Second step - issue a statutory demand.

Yep - I think your right - I've emailed, phoned and texted to no avail. Should I go down the 'small claims' route or take out a 'County Court Judgement' against the agency?

I will keep this thread updated with my progress and once I have successfully won the case I will take great joy in naming and shaming.

Thanks for all the posts.

I think the limit for small claims court is £5000 debt.

If the total is over several invoices, could he file separate ones?

I suggest a slight alternation:

First step - demand evidence that you've violated the clause.

Other first step - and issue a statutory demand.

Kick 'em in the arse while kicking 'em in the bollocks.


If you go at them tooth and claw without breaking any rules, they will cave in very quickly. They are just trying it on and you need to make them think you are not worth fighting. If you pussy-foot about they will keep putting little obstacles in your way.

You won't be using this agency again in a rush so there is no need to keep them happy. And there's no such thing as an agency black list either.

There is nothing to fear: it is your legal responsibility and duty as a director of your company to retrieve your company's money. Go do it. Now.

It is mid morning. You could have the paper work done and submitted and be in the pub by feeling all clever and brave by 1pm.
