I have a decree in Scotland against someone who owes us money. When I tried to enforce it by claiming funds in his bank account, the bank said that because the sort codes are English it wouldn't act on the decree.
I then applied for a certificate of money provision which I was told could be used to get an English High Court decision in my favour. However because the defendant lives in Scotland the sheriff clerk has said they won't issue it; it's only for people who live in England.
It can't be unusual for people to have bank accounts or other assets in another UK country, so I don't know why this is proving so difficult.
Can anyone advise me on what I can do to progress the enforcement?
