Hi there, I set out the answer earlier, as follows :

"Sorry to hear of the issue.

The company seems to be a limited company and active (according to companies house : https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/SC695424).

I would recommend that you send the company a letter before action to demand payment within 14 days and say that if they do not pay you, you will issue county court proceedings against them. See attached template as an example of what to say.

For claims over £300 (up to £5,000) the court issue fee is £106. If you are in receipt of certain benefits you are exempt from paying the above fee. The fee exemption can be applied for at the above website.

Once you start the claim the Sheriff will register the claim and a timetable will be given to you to detail how the claim will proceed. For this size of claim you can easily do it yourself without a lawyer (or come back to this site for further guidance).

Here is the link to the Simple Procedure if the letter is ignored - https://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/taking-action/simple-procedure "
