Obtain Your CCJ and Enforce It the Right Way

Obtaining County Court Judgments and enforcing them through bailiffs, charging orders and third party debt orders - the practical steps that convert a paper result into recovered cash. Blackstone Solicitors are commercial litigation specialists with a dedicated debt recovery practice, led by Warren Mark Heyman (SRA 275307), and independently recognised as a Legal 500 UK Leading Firm 2022. With offices in Manchester and London, we deliver UK-wide debt recovery advice. Call 0330 808 0849 for a no-obligation initial discussion.

A County Court Judgment on its own doesn't move money into your account. Recovery happens at the enforcement stage - choosing the right method for the debtor's assets and keeping the pressure on until you're paid. We issue proceedings, secure judgment, and move straight into the enforcement route most likely to bring the money in.

The main options are High Court Enforcement Officers for judgments over £600, charging orders secured against property, third party debt orders targeting bank accounts, attachment of earnings orders against wages, and orders to obtain information where the debtor's position needs to be drawn out. We tell you which one fits, based on what we've established about the debtor.

What does County Court Judgments and Enforcement involve?
At Blackstone Debt Recovery, our commercial litigation specialists issue the claim, secure judgment either in default or after a hearing, and move straight to enforcement using the route best suited to the debtor's circumstances - transfer up to a High Court Enforcement Officer, a charging order over property, a third party debt order against bank accounts, or an attachment of earnings. Where the debtor's assets aren't clear, we apply for an order to obtain information, compelling them to disclose what they own and earn before we press ahead.
