Form selector

Use this form or another form?

You are appealing a decision about collections made under the Street And House To House Collections Act, 1962

This is the specific document you must use to tell the District Court you disagree with a collection ruling.

✓ Ensure your appeal directly relates to Section 13 (2) of that Act.

Form 88.3

You are appealing a decision made by another body related to collections, but it's not explicitly listed as S.I.H.T.H.H.C.A., 1962 Sec 13(2)

This form is the standard notice for that specific section of the Act, so it should fit your appeal.

✓ Double-check if a different form number was given to you.

Form 88.3 (Use this one anyway)

You are filing an appeal regarding debt or collection issues but don't know which form to use

Use this if the original decision involved enforcing collection under the Street And House To House Collections Act, 1962.

✓ If it relates to a different law (e.g., Revenue), you might need another CRO or ROS form.

Form 88.3 (If the issue is collections)

You are appealing a judgment in the District Court itself, not just an initial collections order

While this is *to* the District Court, use this if your appeal concerns the initial decision regarding the Act's collections rules.

✓ If you are appealing the final court ruling on a different matter, look for a general Appeal Notice form.
