small claims court scotland

How do ensure the debtor actually pays up?

Enforcement of court order

If the person you claimed against loses and doesn�t pay, you will have to go back to court and ask for a sheriff officer to have the decree enforced. Only a sheriff officer can enforce the decree. A fee will be payable to enforce the court decree.

Thanks for the info.
I'm pretty sure the guy is going to do a runner before he pays anything and is dragging the whole thing out.
Presumably he'll have a criminal record which would stop him getting some jobs or credit. DO you know?
