CCJ Enforcement in Birmingham
Birmingham Civil Justice Centre
Winning a court case against a debtor in Birmingham proves you are owed money. Enforcement is what turns that proof into actual payment. Without enforcement action — a bailiff visit, an earnings deduction, a bank account freeze or a property charge — a debtor can continue to ignore a CCJ indefinitely. Birmingham's manufacturing, construction and retail sectors generate a high volume of enforcement proceedings. The Birmingham Civil Justice Centre is the gateway to formal enforcement proceedings in West Midlands.
In Birmingham, the enforcement method you choose depends on what you know about the debtor's circumstances. An employed debtor is best targeted through Attachment of Earnings. A business debtor with a bank account is best targeted through a Third Party Debt Order. A property-owning debtor may be best addressed through a Charging Order — particularly if the debt is large and enforcement is expected to take time. Our Enforcement Pack guides you through the decision at every step.
