MODEL

The Claimant paid residential service charges to [DEFENDANT] for [YEARS]. The First-tier Tribunal in [REFERENCES], by decisions dated [DATES], determined under section 27A of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 that specified charges were not payable. Applying those findings to the sums paid and the Claimant's [PERCENTAGE] lease share, £[PRINCIPAL] is repayable as shown in the attached schedule. This is a fresh County Court claim for repayment, not direct enforcement of the FTT declarations. Separately, the FTT expressly ordered [PARTY] to reimburse £[FEE ORDER], which remains unpaid. Despite the letter before claim dated [DATE], payment has not been made. The Claimant claims £[PRINCIPAL], interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 of £[INTEREST] to issue and continuing at £[DAILY RATE] per day, the issue fee and allowable costs.

WHAT EACH SENTENCE DOES
1. Identifies the payment relationship and years.
2. Identifies the binding FTT decisions without calling them payment orders.
3. Connects those findings to a separately checked calculation.
4. States that the service-charge element is a fresh repayment claim.
5. Keeps any express fee payment order separate.
6. Records the pre-action demand.
7. Pleads the remedy and interest separately.
