Ccj Not Paid.

[cazdee]

Hi
If a ccj is not paid, what might the company owed the money do to get it paid?
Thanks

Baillifs?

[hc4361]

Send in the bailiffs to seize goods to the value; get an attachment of earnings order so that the money is directly paid from the wages each month; get a charging order so the money is repaid when the house is sold.

The company has to apply to the courts for all of these.

There is a form you fill out for the bailiffs to go around- make sure the debtor is in a position to pay - most of mine - ex tenants arent

or

pay a bit more and send the Sherriffs around - then put on a cape - follow them with a camera and video the whole lot !

Try through the High Court for enforcement, if you win, then the Sherriff Officers will enforce the ccj for a fee of £60, as per ..

[Peter Pedant]

Oh you should demand payment before doing any of that
as it is cheaper....

[hc4361]

That only works if the debtor has goods of value, in his own name.

[hc4361]

If there's a CCJ, payment will have already been demanded several times.

Bailiff are not the answer to non-payment of a ccj, reaising the judgement to the High Court for enforcement, (for a fee), but the Enforcement Officer of the High Court has additional powers as to enter premises not available to Bailiffs. The Sherrif officer has a legal right to enter all commercial premises, wether the defendant agrees or not, as the Sheriff would have the right of a live writ to enter the premises.

If you use the form finder to the right of the page on this link, you can look up the EX321 which gives a number of enforcement options and links to other guidance and forms which you can also find from there.

The options open to the creditor are listed here:

If you're the debtor, you really, really, really want to avoid having your goods seized by bailiffs. For example, let's assume they seize a TV set that cost you £400. It's sold at auction, where nobody knows whether it's actually working properly or not, so it only fetches £60. The auctioneer claims 15% (£9) for his fee, leaving £51. But part of the bailiffs' fees (of perhaps £30) have to come out of that, meaning that losing a £400 telly only pays off £21 of your debt.

Strange how many debtors don't actually own anything, though :(

Thanks everyone.
