6 million legitimate debts go uncollected annually, not because people don’t have a case, but because justice costs too much

A new AI platform, GotAClaim, helps UK consumers and small businesses generate a legally compliant Letter Before Action for £10, making it easier to pursue unpaid debts and disputes.

A new legal technology platform aims to make it easier and cheaper for people to pursue unpaid debts and disputes without needing immediate legal advice.

GotAClaim, founded by Tim Hegarty, helps individuals and small businesses generate a Letter Before Action (LBA), the formal notice typically required before legal proceedings can begin in the UK.

The idea for the platform came after Hegarty helped a friend draft an LBA using basic AI tools after the friend had been quoted a staggering £250 by a solicitor simply to explain the process.

Despite having no coding experience, Hegarty used AI tools to build the website himself. Five months later, the platform launched and now allows users to generate a compliant LBA for £10.

Users describe their situation in plain English and the system produces a structured legal letter ready to send.

The service is designed for common disputes including unpaid invoices, tenancy deposit disagreements, breached agreements and personal loans.

Hegarty says the aim isn't to replace solicitors but to help people overcome the initial barrier that prevents many legitimate claims from being pursued.

According to estimates cited by the company, around six million valid claims go unfiled in the UK each year because people are unsure how to start the legal process.

Solicitors Launches New Marketing Concept

Tipping Law Firm’s Logo on its Head

Leading Worcestershire based law firm, Parkinson Wright LLP has launched a brand new look that confidently embraces the culture of the business. Based in Worcestershire since 1962 with offices in Worcester, Evesham and Droitwich, the firm has seen client perceptions of solicitors change over the years and it is now safe to say that gone are the days of gloomy offices and pomp.

The new look embraces the personalities within Parkinson Wright and the people across Worcestershire via a series of 'Blue People' characters; all designed in the shape of the Parkinson Wright logo.

Managing Partner, Cyril Arridge comments, “We are delighted with our new look. We are a long established, serious legal practice covering all aspects of law including family, wills, commercial, litigation and conveyancing, but there is no reason why we cannot inject some personality into our marketing. The Blue People are a moment of light relief alongside often serious subjects and their aim is to show our clients that we really are open, approachable and a firm that is positioned very much in the 21st Century.”

The Blue People will begin to pop up around Worcestershire over the next few months, in good time for the firm’s ‘Make a Will Month’ in June and its sponsorship of The Bear Pit at this year’s Three Counties Show.
