As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly file a Money Claim Online case.

What to actually do

1. Hand it to a person

   The route this page recommends

   Someone with a licence or accountable authority has to sign this before it counts.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Do it yourself

   The distant third

   A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 1 hour until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open the current Money Claim Online guidance on GOV.UK and check that the service is suitable for the court and parties involved before sharing anything with the chatbot.
   2. Gather the contract or terms, invoices, payment records, key correspondence, delivery or performance records, the parties' correct legal names and service addresses, and a chronology of events.
   3. Redact passwords, bank details, identity numbers and unrelated third-party personal data, then paste the remaining facts and documents into a chatbot with the prompt above.
   4. Answer the chatbot's missing-information questions from your records, and replace every [CHECK] item with a fact you can prove or leave it unresolved.
   5. Compare the draft amount, chronology, parties, addresses and requested remedy against the original documents and the current GOV.UK Money Claim Online guidance.
   6. Ask a solicitor to check the cause of action, limitation, jurisdiction, particulars of claim, interest and evidence if the dispute is serious, contested or unclear.
   7. Open the official Money Claim Online service, enter the checked information yourself, review the final screen against the documents, and retain the submission confirmation and a copy of everything filed.

   Prompt

   I need help preparing to file a Money Claim Online case in England and Wales. This is not professional advice, and I will make the final decision and submit the claim myself.
   
   Use only the facts and documents I provide. Do not invent facts, dates, contractual terms, losses, interest, addresses or legal authorities. Do not decide that I will win. First identify any missing information, contradictions, limitation concerns, jurisdiction concerns or information that needs a solicitor's review.
   
   Then produce:
   1. A neutral summary of the dispute.
   2. A chronology of the relevant events.
   3. A list of the documents and evidence that support each important fact.
   4. A draft statement of the amount claimed, separating principal, any interest and any other recoverable amount, without calculating anything unless I provide the figures and the calculation basis.
   5. Draft particulars of claim in clear factual paragraphs, stating what happened, what agreement or obligation is relied on, how it was breached, what loss is claimed and what remedy is sought. Mark every uncertain point as [CHECK].
   6. A Money Claim Online preparation checklist covering the parties, addresses, cause of action, amount, interest, evidence, payment and next steps. Do not state a procedural rule or deadline unless you can point me to the relevant current GOV.UK source.
   7. A final list headed 'Ask a solicitor before filing' containing any issue that I cannot safely verify from the documents and current GOV.UK guidance.
   
   Do not ask me to paste unnecessary personal data. Tell me to redact bank details, passwords, identity numbers and information about third parties that is not needed. Keep the draft separate from your assessment of uncertainties.

   Open it prefilled in ChatGPT or Claude, or copy it into Gemini, which takes no prefill link.
