I sued a custard earlier this year. It was for a large sum of money. She was all mouth before the court due date. Her husband was a total numpty. They paid up in full two days before the court date.
Cool. Nice one. Was that the one you told me about? The insurance claim?

So for more than 12 quid then?
Frankly I find it laughable that Adam is taking someone to court for £12.
Absolutely crazy!
Agreed, but he's got to see it through now.

Don't waste your time and energy on this Mark,
You may win in court, but even then your not guaranteed to get your money. I know I've been there and believe me it was a lot more than £12. Lose a day's wages to  attend court, pay for parking, petrol, etc. And at the end of the day this toe rag will walk away and still not pay.

Do you not instruct a bailiff at that point?
I know, more expense

I still reckon most disputes can be resolved by getting someone to stab their dog in the neck.

Regarding insurance claims Ive had a nightmare year. 20 years trading, no claims then three in one year.

Anyway, yes this is that one I spoke to you about.

A bailiff isn't the only course of action you can use to pursue a debt.

At this stage I'd go anyway, although I'd never have sued for £12.00. There's a good chance he wont turn up and you'll get a default judgement. If he does turn up, treat it as a life experience and try to enjoy it.

I was thinking more along the lines of sending them a book of Humorous Tosh Comments  and Throw Away Remarks.

Bore them into submission.
