Money Claim Online: For claimants and defendants
First Stop Design • Nov 04, 2018
Money Claim Online (MCOL) is the HM Courts & Tribunals Service Internet based service for claimants and defendants. It is a convenient and secure way of making or responding to a money claim on the internet.
Before you begin using the Money Claim Online Service please make sure you familiarise yourself with the following information: Click Here >
Please Note:
This information is only intended as a guide. You may wish to seek assistance from a solicitor or local Citizens Advice.
A number of sections of the user guide may make reference to relevant legislation. There is no attempt within the user guide to interpret specific legislation, but where statutory requirements exist, these naturally take precedence over the user guide.
MCOL is designed to be a relatively simple way to commence a county court claim for a fixed amount of money. However, errors made can be costly to you both in time and money and may affect the outcome of your claim. It is important to note that if you make an error upon issue of the claim you will not be eligible for a refund of the court fee.
System requirements and technical queries:
The Ministry of Justice (MOJ) is committed to continually updating and improving MCOL so the site will work with the widest possible range of web browsers. However, please be aware that you may experience compatibility issues with certain web browsers. If you are having problems with the website, please try accessing the site using another browser or another computer if possible before contacting the court for assistance.
Please be aware that MCOL assumes that you have regular access to the internet. Although the majority of correspondence (copies of the defendant response / instructions for how to proceed etc) will be sent via the post, you may be contacted via email and asked to download forms rather than being posted information in some instances. You will also be able to track the initial progression of the claim via the MCOL website.
