Checklist – what you need to put together to post to the court

• N1
• Particulars of claim (if separate)
• Medical report (if claiming for personal injury)
• Schedule of loss (if claiming for losses and expenses)
• Cheque for the court fee, or application for Help with Fees if eligible (see Getting help to pay a court fee in a civil or family case for more details), and
• a complete set of copies for each defendant.

When you post the documents to the court, it’s worth getting a certificate of posting from the post office. Then, if necessary, you can prove when you posted them.

Where do I send my claim?

If you want your claim dealt with by the county court and your claim is just for money (this includes claims for compensation for personal injury) then you must send it to the:

County Court Money Claims Centre
PO Box 527
Salford
M5 0BY

In these cases, you enter ‘In the County Court Money Claims Centre’ in the heading on the form (or you can abbreviate to CCMCC).

If your claim is for anything other than money, then you should send it to your local court office. See Before you sue - things you need to know about court procedure for more information about how to find your local court.
