Frequently asked questions
The debtor won't pay my judgment — what can I do?
You can enforce it using bailiffs, a charging order over property, attachment of earnings, or a third party debt order against their bank. We advise on the best method.
Which enforcement method is best?
It depends on what the debtor owns — property, income or bank funds. We assess their circumstances and recommend the most effective and cost-efficient route.
Is there a time limit to enforce a judgment?
You should act promptly. Some enforcement steps become harder after six years without the court's permission, so early action is best.
