Third Party Debt Order - Paypal

[apocalypsedreams]

I have a High Court judgment for costs in my faavour. The other side hasn't paid. I know he has a paypal account, but I don't know details of any UK bank accounts he might hold.


Does anyone know if it is possible to get a Third Party Debt Order to freeze a paypal account?


Thanks in advance

It wouldn't be worth it as there is probably nothing in the paypal account.

If you know the other sides address etc (which you must do if you took them to court), then you can go back to the court for a warrant of execution. This will unleash the courts bailiff who will attend the other sides property to size goods to the value of what they owe you, including additional court cost.

Thanks teaboy2, I will investigate.

The judgment was given in Manchester High Court, but I understand that I can apply for a warrant of execution in the High or County Court. What's the difference?

County Court bailiff is weak, High Court Enforcement officers have more powers.

I have used "the sherrifs" before, and they are very good, and deal with all the paperwork on your behalf. I would send them in, they also recover their costs from the opponent if they recover any monies for you.

If they are unable to recover any money, who then pays their remarkable fees?

Off the top of my head, I think if they fail to collect the debt, the OP is only charged £60.00.

I am inclined to believe (from watching the telly) that the only fee payable is £60 if they fail to get your monies

And how much money does it cost to get a high court order to enable use of HCEOs?is the debt over the threshold for this thought it was £600

Re: Third Party Debt Order - Paypal

How much does it cost to use a High Court Enforcement Officer?

Using the High Court for enforcement means that a fee of £60.00 has to be paid on sealing the Writ addressed to the High Court Enforcement Officer of your choice.

A caveat on this: since last year, once HCE is in possession of a writ of control, it is obliged to issue notification of its intent to attend, which must be sent to the debtor at their address, at least seven days before HCE attends. This is supposed to trigger the debtor into taking some action, either by getting ready for repayment, or to allow them enough time to apply for a stay of execution.

In most cases, according to the HCE Officers' Association, advance notice works well, and most debts are recovered. Where it fails, is if the debtor is wilfully avoiding repayment, in which case the warning letter will give them ample time to move out temporarily, taking their valuable goods with them, and as the notice has a relatively short shelf life, repayment is avoided.

Please look at the dates. The original thread is 2013, and then the law changed to require 1 weeks notice, shame really as it originally give them time to "lose" things.

That's why I added the caveat - in case anyone came looking - and didn't know about the changes. I did talk to the HCEOA, and they were adamant that overall, the results were more fruitful with the warning shot across the bows!
