• Reply to a debt collector: prove the debt, or it is statute-barred (Northern Ireland)

  For someone in Northern Ireland chased by a debt collector or debt buyer for a debt they do not recognise, dispute or believe is more than six years old. The letter does not acknowledge the debt: it asks for proof — the agreement, a statement of account, the default notice and the assignment — or states that the debt is statute-barred under the Limitation (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 and will not be paid, which FCA rules require a firm collecting a regulated credit debt to respect. Send it by recorded delivery (Royal Mail Signed For), and keep a copy.

• Letter before a small claim for money a private person owes you (Northern Ireland)

  For a private individual in Northern Ireland owed money by another individual — an unrepaid loan, a share of a bill, money paid for something never handed over. The letter sets out the debt and gives 14 days to pay or reply, and says that otherwise you will make a small claim in the county court, which hears claims of up to £5,000, or bring proceedings in court for a larger sum. Northern Ireland has no fixed pre-action rule, but the letter shows the court that you asked for the money first. Send it by recorded delivery (Royal Mail Signed For), and by email.

• Letter to Land & Property Services about your rates bill (Northern Ireland)

LPS has free application forms and online services; this letter suits a case they do not fit. To challenge the capital value itself, use the review statement instead.
