Most people think you need expensive solicitors to fight telecoms, energy firms, or retailers. The truth? You can start a County Court small claim online for as little as £35 if your claim is under £300.
That small step often makes the difference between being ignored and finally being taken seriously. I’ve used this process successfully against household names in energy, telecoms, and retail — and won.
At Golden Shield Consumer Services, we help consumers navigate claims that are often too small for solicitors to take on economically.
We’re not a law firm — we’re here to fill that gap.
✔ If a client needs legal representation, we’ll refer them to trusted solicitors.
✔ If a solicitor receives a “can’t-justify-the-fee” enquiry, we can help.
✔ You don’t need to be a lawyer.
✔ The process is designed for ordinary people.
✔ The fee scales with the claim amount, but it always starts at £35.
If you think you’ve been treated unfairly, don’t just accept it. You may be able to fight back — and win.
👉 At Golden Shield Consumer Services, I’ve helped consumers recover thousands through the small claims process.
