No Written Contract? You Can Still Claim
A signed contract is NOT always required to recover unpaid invoices in the UK small claims court.
Many successful claims are based on alternative evidence that proves:
- An agreement existed — even if verbal or implied
- Work was completed as agreed
- Payment was expected and is now overdue
Acceptable Evidence Includes:
Note: If the debtor disputes the quality of work or claims the invoice is incorrect, you should record this in the questionnaire. The court will consider both sides of any dispute. Strong evidence of completion and agreement will support your claim.
Legal Basis

Important Information
Document Preparation Only
This platform provides document preparation tools only. It does not provide legal advice or legal representation. You remain in control of your claim throughout the process.
Signed Contracts Not Always Required
A signed contract is not always required to pursue an unpaid invoice claim. Claims can rely on emails, text messages, WhatsApp conversations, invoices, photos of completed work, and witness statements. Our questionnaire captures all forms of proof.
Disputed Work Quality
If the debtor disputes the quality of work or services provided, this should be recorded in the questionnaire. Our documents will address the dispute and present your evidence. Quality disputes do not automatically invalidate your claim.
