...insurance premiums. But Moneyclaim.gov.uk is actually a website produced by our own wonderful government. To be more specific this website is run by the Court Service of England and Wales, the people who do such a fine job of punishing all the baddies out there. I stumbled upon Moneyclaim Online earlier this year when I was planning to sue Wilcon Homes over the faulty boiler in my house (that's a whole story in itself which you can read more about ...
...sued a few people in the past; most notably NTL when they used to be called Cable & Wireless, and a dealer who sold me a car which I later found out was an accident write-off. I don't suffer fools (or crooks) gladly.

Advantages: A collection of useful resources and up-to-date news on the legal profession
Disadvantages: Varies in relevance

In theory the next thing to happen should be the exchange of contracts ...
...over a month ago. There customer service is atrocious (long lunches, staff on holiday, no response to letters/emails, long time "on hold") and there workmanship on the conveyancing is no better - we had to tell them to check out the conservatory's planning permission. My advice is steer well clear of these cowboys - don't make the same mistakes as we did! ... Read review
