Enforcing - ie. getting paid - a County Court judgement

[rlw]

I have successfully claimed against a client through the small claims systems via Northampton CC. Needless to say, the client has done FA about it and probably doesn't even know. The claim was unopposed. How do I get my money now? The court sent me a leaflet describing a number of ways to proceed, all of them pretty hopeless in my view. I seem to remember watching a programme about High Court Sheriffs being quite effective but possibly not open to me.

The client is a solicitor and the claim was made on his office address - on the instruction of the DJ - whereas I wanted to go for him at home as he is a sole practioner. The amount in question is about £4500.

Thanks

If it relies on someone turning up and attempting to seize goods, even the High Court route looks a bit pointless. I think that I will haave to go for a Statutory Demand and Bankruptcy proceddings, even if it costs a few quid. As a solicitor, bankruptcy is not a great option for him.
