County Court Claims

As debt collectors, our company receives many debt recovery cases from private schools, most of which tend to be in the category of unpaid Fees in Lieu of Notice, invariably, in some cases, ending up as County Court claims.

Quite often, in such cases, there has been no response to correspondence, and the defendants have ignored everything, hoping that the matter would simply go away.

This can often lead to hostile defences with reasons such as:

"My children were bullied and I had to protect them, so I removed them immediately for their safety".
"My child was suffering racial abuse, and the school failed to address the problem; we could not stand it any longer".
"My child was not getting satisfactory education and had fallen behind because of the poor quality of the tuition".

Or there is simply a waiting list at the school.

How can they claim to be out of pocket, suffering a pre-estimated loss?

This cannot be true as the place can be filled next term.

Here at Town and Country Legal Services, we cover all the bases before issuing proceedings; occasionally, a spurious defence is received.

We have never lost any of these cases.

Remember, we are here to help you get the best results and fast.
