Serving notice and making a claim in small claims court for company with PO Box

[anyman]

At first I wish to serve notice on a company that has a PO box address. Should they fail to respond or I am unsatisfied with there response then I may wish to issue county court proceeding against then. But if I win that or they fail to respond, then the count court may issue a judgement against them in my favour and then I will need to employ a debit collection agency to recover the funds

Will the county court except a PO Box? And can the debit collection agency recover funds or assets from a PO Box?

Thanks

Is this a limited company? If so, you can serve court papers at its registered office.

find an actual trading address.

Government departments either comply with judgments or they appeal them.

Right understood! But this is a very strange matter I am dealing with hear
I dont quite understand your link though, why the need to transfer from a crown to a county court.
But in hindsight; even in the event they failed to reply, then can I still serve notice, court proceedings, judgement and even bailiff to there Po Box?

The link Atticus provided gives the following information:
