Not chasing money? We also help with…
If it’s a small claim, we’ve seen it.
From real case checks on CourtPilot, to October 2026.
Percentages are rounded, so they may not add up to 100.
£2,400 back. No solicitor.
See us on TrustpilotIllustrative example based on the kind of outcome a strong, properly evidenced unpaid-invoice case can have on a letter before action. Not a specific customer, and not every letter gets paid. If it hadn’t worked, the £29 Claim Pack adds the particulars and the N1, with the letter credited.
A solicitor charges by the hour.
We charge once.
Solicitor figures from typical undefended-claim engagement letters, high-street firms in England & Wales, 2024–25, for claims of £2,500–£7,500 at associate-level rates; partners are higher. Court fees are not included on either side. CourtPilot is a document-preparation service. We are not a law firm and do not give legal advice.
Things people ask us before signing up.
Is CourtPilot a law firm?+
No, and we're upfront about it. We're a document-preparation service. We draft letters, claim forms, witness statements and court bundles to the procedural standard the Civil Procedure Rules require. We don't give legal advice and we don't represent you in court: you do, as a litigant in person.
Why is it so much cheaper than a solicitor?+
Because we don't charge by the hour. Most small claims follow a tightly defined procedure: letter before action, particulars, statement, bundle, hearing. We've automated the drafting from your evidence. The thinking is still yours. The hours billed are not.
Can't I do all this myself on MCOL for free?+
You can. Money Claim Online is the government's filing portal and it's free beyond the court fee. But MCOL is where you file; it doesn't draft anything. The protocol letter, CPR-compliant particulars, evidence bundle, witness statement and hearing prep are all on you. That's the part we do. You still file on MCOL yourself, with the right documents in hand.
What happens to the £9.97 or £29 if I upgrade?+
The £9.97 letter is credited when you add the £29 Claim Pack or the £97 toolkit. The pack's £29 is credited in full toward the £97 toolkit if you upgrade within 60 days, so your total cost stays £97, never £29 + £97.
What if I lose my case?+
In the small claims track (under £10,000) the general rule is that each side pays its own legal costs, so you won't usually be ordered to pay the other side's solicitor fees if you lose. Your main risk is the court fee you paid to file (£35 to £455 depending on the claim value) and limited fixed costs. That's why the case check is free: you can see how strong your claim looks before you commit.
What if my claim is over £10,000?+
The small-claims track tops out at £10,000 in England and Wales. Above that you're into the fast track or multi-track, costs are recoverable, and you should instruct a solicitor. We'll tell you at the case-check stage.
Will I have to go to court?+
Most claims settle before a hearing: many after a letter before action, more after the claim is issued. If yours does reach a hearing, small-claims hearings are informal: a district judge, you and the other party. We'll help you prepare what to say.
Do you handle Scotland or Northern Ireland?+
Not yet. CourtPilot is built for the County Court in England and Wales. The procedure in Scotland and Northern Ireland is different, and we'd rather build it properly than fudge it.
