Enforcement of Judgment Solicitors in Reading & Henley-on-Thames

FAQs

What should you make enquiries about a debtor’s assets prior to taking enforcement action?

It is important to make enquiries as to the assets held by the debtor and in what form, as this will be important when deciding which enforcement method to pursue. We can ascertain this in a number of ways such as:

  • writing a letter requesting the debtor to voluntarily provide a list of their assets
  • consulting the Insolvency Register to check whether the debtor has been declared bankrupt
  • doing a land registry search to ascertain what property the debtor
  • searching Companies House to see whether the debtor’s company has any assets or has been wound up
  • Application for an order that debtor attends Court for questioning and provides evidence of assets and income.
  • conducting online research to identify further information.

Once we have confirmed the debtor has goods of value to satisfy the debt, we can advise you on the best method of enforcing judgment

What are common methods of enforcing a judgment?

The are a number of ways to enforcement judgment, including:

  • Third party debt order – This allows a creditor to recover the debt owed from a third party who holds funds for the debtor, for example a bank account
  • Charging order – obtains a charge over a debtor’s beneficial interest in land, the debt would then be paid following the sale of the property
  • Attachment of earnings – ensures that a proportion of the debtor’s salary is deducted by their employer until the whole of the debt is paid
  • Commence insolvency proceedings – if you are owed more than £5,000 from an individual then a bankruptcy petition can be presented. If you are owed more than £750 then a winding up petition can be presented. Before doing so, it may be necessary to first serve a statutory demand
  • Writ of control and warrant of execution – from the High Court or a warrant of control from the County Court, authorising an enforcement officer to seize goods to be sold to satisfy the judgment debt
