CCJ enforcement
Enforce a CCJ and actually get paid
Winning a County Court Judgment doesn't put money in your account — enforcement does. If a debtor is ignoring a CCJ, you have several enforcement routes, and choosing the right one for the debtor's circumstances is what decides whether you get paid.

- You won the judgment months ago and haven't seen a penny

- The court process so far has already cost you time and money
What the right agency does differently
High Court enforcement
Judgments over £600 can usually be transferred to the High Court, where enforcement officers have stronger powers to take control of goods — often the fastest route for business debtors with assets.
The right writ for the circumstances
Enforcement specialists assess the debtor first: attachment of earnings for employed individuals, third-party debt orders for known bank funds, charging orders against property.
Fixed, recoverable costs
Much of the cost of High Court enforcement is added to the debtor's bill rather than yours. Terms vary — the comparison sets out each specialist's fees clearly.
Common questions
My CCJ is a few years old. Can it still be enforced?
Generally yes — a CCJ doesn't expire after six years, though enforcing one older than six years needs the court's permission. Sooner is always better.
What does High Court enforcement cost me if nothing is recovered?
Typically an abortive fee of around £75 plus VAT. If the enforcement succeeds, most enforcement costs are recovered from the debtor.
Is a CCJ under £600 a dead end?
No — it can't go to the High Court, but county court bailiffs, attachment of earnings and other routes remain available. Some agencies also negotiate settlement directly.
