I'm wondering if there is a reasonable amount of time within which you need to act to put a claim through small claims.
We have been involved in a dispute with our lettings agency which we have tried to resolve. Last contact with them was May, when we didn't manage to reach agreement and we said that the next step for us was to pursue through small claims. Since then, DS2 arrived early and we moved house. Been v busy. We now would like to pursue through small claims. Is it now too late? Would the time we've left prejudice our case?
Also - anyone know whether we have to go through ARLA first (lettings agency are an ARLA member), or can we go straight to small claims? I'm guessing we do need to go through ARLA to show that we've tried all avenues to resolve.
