    is money claim on line worth the hassle?

    I am prepared to gamble the court fees. It's just the thought of getting bogged down in the legal process that's making me look before leaping. Lord knows I've enough to do as it is. The facts of the case are pretty straight forward as far as I can see. No dispute over invoices, he just claims...
