How we verify

Evidence: Described by posterThe person describes what happened in words, without screenshots or video.

Outcome

A UK poster says a former landlord tried to sue them for £5,800 in a year-long dispute. They used Grok and ChatGPT for the whole process from start to finish instead of paying a lawyer's quoted £3,000, and say they won and received the court's closure letter. They add that this is not legal advice.

Agent

Grok, ChatGPT

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Let's work this out together. I'll tell you what I know, you suggest options and ask what you need, and we'll narrow it down step by step. Nothing gets booked, bought or sent until I say so.

Goal: Help me understand a claim against me and prepare my defence step by step, without a lawyer if it's reasonable.

What I'll share as we go:
- The claim form and any letters
- My tenancy agreement
- Evidence: photos, messages, inventory, receipts
- Key deadlines from the court

Rules:
- Explain each court stage and deadline in plain language, using the court's official guidance.
- Help me write a clear, factual defence tied to the evidence.
- Keep a deadline list and remind me before each one.
- Tell me where to get free legal advice and when a lawyer would be worth it.
- If a site asks for a login, a CAPTCHA or payment details, stop and hand control back to me.
- Ask for my OK before you pay, book, send, submit or cancel anything.
- Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify.

Output: A timeline of the case, a draft defence, and an evidence bundle checklist.

You'll know it worked when: every deadline is met and my defence is clear and backed by evidence.

- Draft a calm settlement offer too, in case it's cheaper than going to a hearing.

Before you finish: re-read my goal and constraints, check your answer against each one, and list anything you assumed or couldn't confirm.
