If you’re dealing with a small claim in England or Wales — whether you’re starting a claim, defending one, or enforcing a judgment — small claims AI can guide you through the entire process step by step, without a solicitor.
ClaimsPilot is the UK’s dedicated small claims AI platform. Built specifically for Money Claim Online (MCOL), Online Civil Money Claims (OCMC), and County Court small claims up to £10,000 — it gives you the same structured preparation and legal reasoning that a solicitor would provide, at a fraction of the cost.
What Is Small Claims AI?
Small claims AI refers to artificial intelligence tools built specifically to help individuals navigate the small claims court process in England and Wales — without needing a solicitor.
Unlike general AI chatbots (like ChatGPT), a purpose-built small claims AI understands the specific rules, forms, and procedures of the UK small claims track. It knows the difference between MCOL and OCMC. It knows CPR Parts 26–27. It knows what goes in an N1 claim form, an N9B defence, or an N323 enforcement request.
ClaimsPilot is built from the ground up to do exactly this — and it’s the only dedicated small claims AI platform available in the UK.
Who Is Small Claims AI For?
ClaimsPilot is designed for anyone dealing with a small claim in England or Wales who wants to handle it themselves, including:
- Individuals owed money by a person or business
- Consumers suing for faulty goods or poor workmanship
- Tenants claiming back a wrongly withheld deposit
- Freelancers and sole traders chasing unpaid invoices
- People who have received a claim and need to defend it
- Anyone who has a judgment and needs to enforce it
Small claims court in England and Wales handles disputes up to £10,000. It’s designed to be accessible to people without legal training — but the process still has strict rules, deadlines, and forms. That’s where small claims AI comes in.
How Small Claims AI Works: Step by Step
ClaimsPilot guides you through every stage of the small claims court process with AI grounded in real UK civil procedure rules.
1. Before You Claim — Pre-Action Protocol
Before filing a claim, you’re required by law to send a Letter Before Action (LBA). ClaimsPilot generates a legally structured LBA based on your case details, referencing the relevant Pre-Action Protocol and giving the other side the required 14 days to respond.
2. Filing Your Claim — MCOL or OCMC
ClaimsPilot helps you choose between Money Claim Online (MCOL) and Online Civil Money Claims (OCMC), then drafts your Particulars of Claim, auto-fills the N1 form, and walks you through the filing process step by step.
3. Defending a Claim
If you’ve received a claim, ClaimsPilot analyses the claim against you, identifies your best defence arguments, and helps you complete the N9B defence form accurately and on time.
4. Preparing for Your Hearing
ClaimsPilot generates a hearing preparation pack including your key arguments, evidence checklist, anticipated judge questions, and an oral script — so you walk into court ready.
5. Enforcing a Judgment
If you’ve won but the other side hasn’t paid, ClaimsPilot helps you choose the right enforcement method and complete the correct forms — whether that’s a Warrant of Control (N323), a Third Party Debt Order, or an Attachment of Earnings.

Frequently Asked Questions About Small Claims AI
Is small claims AI legal advice?
No. ClaimsPilot is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. It provides structured legal information, procedural guidance, and document preparation tools grounded in UK civil procedure rules. For complex cases or large amounts, you should always consider consulting a solicitor.
Can I use small claims AI for any type of claim?
ClaimsPilot is designed for money claims in England and Wales up to £10,000 — the small claims track. This covers the vast majority of consumer disputes, unpaid debts, faulty goods, deposit disputes, and contractor disagreements. It does not cover personal injury claims, housing possession, or claims over £10,000.
How much does small claims AI cost?
ClaimsPilot is free to start — no credit card required. Full access for a claim costs £69, a defence costs £49, and enforcement costs £49. These are one-off payments per case, with no subscription. There is also a Complete Bundle for £99 covering all three.
Do I still need to go to court if I use small claims AI?
Possibly, but not always. Many small claims are resolved before a hearing — the other side often pays once a formal claim is filed. If your case does go to a hearing, ClaimsPilot prepares you thoroughly so you can represent yourself with confidence.
Is ClaimsPilot available for Scotland or Northern Ireland?
ClaimsPilot is built for the small claims process in England and Wales only. Scotland has a separate Simple Procedure system, and Northern Ireland has its own courts. ClaimsPilot does not currently support claims outside England and Wales.
What court forms does ClaimsPilot auto-fill?
ClaimsPilot auto-fills 11 HMCTS court forms: N1 (claim), N9A, N9B (defence), N244 (application), N180 (directions questionnaire), N215, N225, N227, N323 (warrant of control), N337, N379, plus witness statement templates.
