Before going to Small Claims Court, consider these alternatives:
✔️ Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR):
• Mediation services (available via UK government).
• Ombudsman schemes (for financial, consumer, and energy disputes).
✔️ Fast Track & Multi-Track Claims:
• If your claim is over £10,000, it may qualify for the fast-track system (£10,000–£25,000) or the multi-track system (£25,000+).
✔️ Debt Collection Services:
• Businesses with multiple unpaid invoices may benefit from debt collection agencies before pursuing a legal claim.
Small Claims Court should be a last resort if other methods fail.
