most times taking companies like this to court will cost you a bundle in fees. Put your case on paper and then take it to one or two up and coming baristers. One of them might do it for you for a % of the settlement if there is one. They will not take it on if they think that the case is bogus.

It does depend on the amount you are claiming. If it is a relatively small amount, up to £5000, I think, you can do it through the small claims court. It does not cost a fortune and the local county court will be more than happy to advise you and provide you with the necessary paperwork. Bear in ind, if you win, NORMALLY, you get your costs back from the defendent.

You can see your local Clark of the Court they will advise you if you may have a claim, there is such a thing as a 'small claims court' and costs very little (It used to be £10)

Depends on what you are taking them to court for. If its return of monies they've overcharged then the small claims court will do. You do it yourself and it costs around £40 but you can get that back if you win the case.

Is your end goal to "take them to court" or are you actually looking to get them to provide a service or compensation ?
taking a corporate to court is going to cost you and you are likely to loose. They wil throw disproportionate amounts of money and resources at it in order to avoid setting a presedence in court.
They ahve access to umlimited solicitors and money, do you ?
Think about what you want to achieve and then think about how best to go about it, if its really "going to court" then talk to a solicitor, that would be the end of your search and the start of your draining money.
There are many other routes you could take if your end goals wan't to "take then to court" but we can't help on that one without more detail

A civil litigation solicitor. Although the companies themselves should have ombudsmen of some kind to deal with such things initially.

I would check out your law society web site for advice and appropriate legal representation. And also maybe the citizens advice bureau. Failing that you could always contact companies house who register all national companies, they may have advice. Good luck.

It depends what for and how much you want to claim. If funds are limited then consider using the small claims court (see below).

Contact a lawyer who does civil cases first.
