Enforcement

Won a County Court judgment but not been paid? These free guides show you how to enforce a CCJ and recover what the court ordered in England & Wales. When a debtor ignores a judgment you have several routes to collect. Start with our overview of how to enforce a County Court judgment, then choose your method: send bailiffs in with a warrant of control (Form N78), take payment straight from the debtor’s wages with an attachment of earnings order (Form N337), freeze money owed to the debtor with a third party debt order (Form N349), secure the debt against their property with an interim charging order (Form N83), or make the debtor disclose their finances with an order to obtain information (Form N316). On the receiving end of enforcement? We also explain how to apply to suspend a warrant of control (Form N79) and how to apply for a set aside or stay of execution. Still at the claim stage? Our step-by-step Money Claim Online walkthrough covers the whole process from issuing the claim through to judgment. Every guide is free to read — and when you’re ready, Chris can help you draft your own documents to a professional standard, in minutes.
