County Court Judgement

A County Court judgment (CCJ) is a legal directive that requires you to settle a debt or payment you owe to a financial creditor. This is one step among many that your creditors may take as part of the debt recovery process.

1. Court Claim Process and Filing

Filing a court claim is the formal process of resolving a dispute through the legal system. Whether you’re a business or an individual seeking to recover money owed or address a legal grievance, understanding the steps involved in the court claim process can ensure a smooth and efficient resolution.

2. Court Claim Defence Filing

When you receive a court claim, responding promptly and effectively is crucial. Filing a defence allows you to dispute the claim or parts of it and present your side of the case. Failure to respond could result in a default judgment against you.

3. High Court Debt Enforcement

When a court judgment orders someone to pay a debt, enforcement may be required if the debtor does not comply. In England and Wales, debts exceeding £600 can be transferred to the High Court for enforcement by High Court Enforcement Officers (HCEOs). This method is often faster and more effective than standard enforcement options.

4. High Court Writ Set Aside

A High Court Writ of Control allows High Court Enforcement Officers (HCEOs) to recover debts under a judgment. However, if you believe the writ was issued unfairly or incorrectly, you may be able to apply to have it set aside. This process halts enforcement and provides an opportunity to challenge the debt or judgment.
