County Court Judgment collection in Wolverhampton

The service

The Bronze service provides:

• Help with the transfer up of the CCJ to the High Court by helping to complete the forms and posting the paperwork to the court.
• Up to 3 free visits to one address to contact the debtor to collect payment or take control of goods.
• We aim to have the first visit completed within 40 days of the notice of enforcement expiring. If we are unable to collect after three visits any further visits are chargeable and are not recoverable from the defendants.
• Communication by email only of all significant actions.

Significant actions: These are the times you will receive an update.

• On receipt of instruction and payment we email confirmation of receipt and your case reference number. We aim to respond within 2 hours on an office business day.
• The case is passed to a qualified enforcement professional who will thoroughly check the case file to check for any obvious errors that may prevent or impede enforcement activities. We will run an insolvency check, complete a check of our database for prior writs we hold and check over your judgment for obvious issues. We aim to complete this procedure within 3 working days of your instruction being loaded. If we find any major issues we will contact you giving you the opportunity to ask us not to request the writ and therefore save yourself the £133.75 court transfer and execution fee. If you decide to cancel only the court transfer and execution fee can be refunded as the administration fee of £108 will still have been incurred as this is due upon instruction.
• We will have the N293A and other paperwork completed.
• For individual clients we will insert an electronic signature to complete and email the form to you to check and return. Or we will where possible get a third party solicitor to complete, sign and post this to the court.
• For limited company clients we will email the form to you to check, sign and return, or we will where possible get a third party solicitor to complete, sign and post this to the court.
• The signed N293A is sent to the court.
• When returned we will issue a Notice of Enforcement which gives the debtor approximately 14 days to pay (including postage time). We email confirmation of this.
• If the debt is not paid the Writ of Control is passed to one of our local Certificated Enforcement Agents.
• The Certificated Enforcement Agent is part of an experienced national team able to enforce by taking control of the goods of the debtor.
• The team will aim to recover your debt, interest on the debt, and all court costs and the statutory enforcement fees which are added to the debt when enforcement is successful. The admin fee and the Silver and Gold service fee is not recoverable from the debtor.
• You will be kept informed by our system as actions are taken.
• The first visit to the debtor will be within 40 days of this expiring.
• After each visit we email a basic report giving the outcome of the visit and what the next process is.
• After any communication from the court or important developments with the case we email an update.

Refunds: Please note the administration fee is none refundable once you instruct us in any circumstances as it pays for the admin of the case including the case upload, opening a ledger to receive and pay out money and issuing the Notice of enforcement to the debtor.

The court transfer and execution fee is only refundable if we have not passed this to the court as we simply pay this on your behalf.

Please note if we are unable to successfully recover your debt then an abortive fee of £94.80 (£79 plus vat) is due to us by law.
