Enforcing a County Court Judgment

[Muncher]

I am advising someone who has a substantial County Court Judgment awarded in their favour, it has been outstanding for a couple of months now with the Court Bailiffs not willing to put in any effort to enforce it. The debtor has significant assets which are highly mobile, from a practical point of view, what's the best way of getting the cash from them?

With respect, if you do not know, then you should not be advising them!. Court bailiffs are a waste of space, there are a plethora of alternative remedies available. I suggest you do what I had to do and study in detail credit law. Debt recovery companies get a bad press, but some of us actually know what we are doing and time after time get results for our clients.

It's a friend who I'm helping out. The Legal Practice Course only really touched upon enforcement of judgments. Is the debt something you would be able to recover?

He's got quite an infamous (in recent terms) Ford GT, though not worth as much as it was a while back... Also property, commercial property and a race car.

What stops you from lodging the debt against one of his properties, preferably one he's likely to sell soon?

Nothing but I've no way of telling which properties he is intending to sell soon and was hoping there would be more effective means of extracting cold hard cash more quickly and easily.
