Many small claim applications fail or get delayed due to simple errors. Here are common mistakes and how to avoid them:
❌ Filing against the wrong party – Ensure you have the correct legal name and address of the defendant.
❌ Incomplete or incorrect claim forms – Double-check all details before submission.
❌ Missing key documents – Always include contracts, invoices, or proof of communication.
❌ Ignoring pre-action protocols – A Letter Before Claim must be sent before filing.
❌ Claiming an incorrect amount – Be realistic and back up claims with financial evidence.
Fixing mistakes after submission can result in additional fees and delays.
