Judgment Enforcement

If you have a County Court Judgment (CCJ) or Order over £600 (including court costs) or a High Court Judgment or Order up to 6 years old then you have come to the right place.

For a court fee of just £60, we will transfer-up your judgment to the High Court for Enforcement free of charge. Our nationwide team of experienced High Court Enforcement Officers (HCEO) offer the highest collection rates in the country which are monitored by the Ministry of Justice. In 2009 we averaged 93p in £1 on enforceable debts, some 60% higher than the industry average of just 58p in £1.

Unlike others, we do not send letters warning of our intended visit. A warning often prompts the debtor to abscond or hide/sell any assets they may have.

Our first point of contact is a visit by our High Court Enforcement Officers at the debtor's premises to seize their goods, chattels and other property. These can be removed and sold if the debtor fails to pay the sums due. Our extensive powers include the ability to enter residential premises through an unlocked door or open window and even force entry to some premises (shops, warehouses, detached garages and barns where no residential premises is attached) for the purposes of this seizure.

We attend to collect the judgment amount, your court costs, your ‘transfer-up’ fee (execution costs), interest at 8% and our fees, costs and charges from the debtor.

Unlike many of our competitors, all of our High Court Enforcement Officers are also experienced Certificated Bailiffs and they all carry portable Credit/Debit Card Machines allowing easy secure Chip and PIN payment by the defendant and NO CHARGEBACKS! At present, this accounts for 70% of all payments collected.

We will keep you updated at every stage of the enforcement process, requesting your further instructions if necessary.

“Having a long term debt with a client presents challenges. We knew this would be the case when we discovered our defaulter was a clever, resourceful serial fraud whose company and name was published on a website that lists unpaid debts. This was the first time we realised we were not alone. He had been ordering services like ours for years and never paid debts even when he had a judgement against him in court. Through their professional procedures and attention to detail, The Sheriffs Office was able to collect the full sum in spite of an assault on one of their staff by one of the family members at the debtor's residence. We were able to keep up with progress reports which added to our peace of mind. All in all, this was a first class service”
