What Happens If Someone Ignores a County Court Judgment?

County Court Judgements.

Winning a County Court Judgment does not always mean the debt will be paid immediately. If the debtor ignores the CCJ, there are still several ways to enforce it.

One of the most effective options is to transfer the judgment to the High Court for enforcement. This allows certified High Court Enforcement Officers to pursue payment and, in some cases, seize goods to recover the debt.

High Court Enforcement is often faster and more effective than County Court bailiffs, particularly for debts over £600. It can also add additional pressure on the debtor to pay quickly.

Other enforcement options may include:

• Attachment of earnings

• Charging orders

• Third-party debt orders

• Writs of Control

  
  

If someone ignores a CCJ, acting quickly is important. The longer you wait, the harder it can become to recover the debt. Many people searching for CCJ enforcement are already ready to take immediate action.

If a debtor refuses to pay after a County Court Judgment has been issued, our High Court Enforcement service can help you transfer the debt to the High Court and recover what you are owed faster.
