Circuit Court
Step 2 - Complete Your Debt Claim Form
Once you have identified where to make the debt claim, you or your solicitor must complete the initial debt claim form. The form you need to complete is called a Claim Notice (Form 2A) (known as a Civil Bill in the Circuit Court).
You must include the following information in your Claim Notice:
- A description of the parties involved, such as their name and occupation. You should also include their legal representative's details if known. The addresses of both parties, where court documents are to be sent, should also be included, along with email addresses for electronic service, if appropriate.
- A statement of the claim. You must clearly set out the full details (facts) of your claim, a list of correspondence and other documents which you may rely on in court, and the amount of debt (or other remedy) you are seeking.
- The circuit and county where you are submitting your claim.
- The legal options available to the respondent. These options are already outlined on the Claim Notice template form.
- The date and signature of you or your legal representative.
