File Your California Small Claims Forms Right
ClaimKit Help
File your California small claims forms right the first time.
Your case starts with the SC-100, the Plaintiff's Claim and Order to Go to Small Claims Court, and the court expects it done a specific way. ClaimKit Help's Core kit walks you through it box by box, and then through everything that comes after; serving the defendant, the follow-up forms, and court day itself.

Three things, and they happen in order. The kit covers each one with the exact form numbers, so nothing gets bounced on a technicality.
File the SC-100
It's the form that opens your case, and small details carry weight; the defendant's correct legal name, the right amount, the right courthouse. Be sure to get each box right before you sign, and the kit shows you how.
Serve the defendant and prove it
The court won't hear your case until the defendant has been served properly and the proof of service (form SC-104) is filed. The kit covers who can serve, how, and the deadlines.
Show up prepared
Evidence organized, a clear summary of what you're owed, and knowing what you'll say when the judge asks. That preparation is what the scripts and checklists are for.
The kit also covers the FW-001, the request to waive court fees, with the same box-by-box care.
What's inside the Core kit
- A box-by-box SC-100 walkthrough, so you know each answer is right before you sign.
- Demand letter templates, because a strong letter settles many cases before the courthouse is ever involved.
- The full service walkthrough; who can serve the papers, how to do it correctly, and the SC-104 proof the court needs.
- Court day scripts and checklists, so you walk in knowing what you'll say and what to bring.
- Evidence prep worksheets that turn your receipts, photos, and texts into a case the judge can follow.
- "Stay Calm Before Court" and "When You Feel Like Giving Up" for when it gets hard.

Common questions
Is the Core kit right for my case?
Core fits the person filing a California small claims case and going to the hearing; it covers the demand letter, the SC-100, service, and court day. If you also want the post-judgment collection side covered (getting paid after you win), ClaimKit Help's Complete includes all of that too.
Is this legal advice?
No. ClaimKit Help is an educational resource, not a law firm, and it doesn't provide legal advice. California small claims is built for people handling their own cases, and the kit gives you the system, the forms guidance, and the scripts so you can do it well.
How does delivery work?
It's an instant digital download. You check out, and the kit arrives in your email right away, ready to use on your own schedule.
What if it isn't what I needed?
There's a 7-day refund policy. If the kit isn't the right fit for your situation, reach out within 7 days of purchase.
