You can do that.Lawyer (solicitor) - retired from practice, now supervising solicitor in a university law clinic. I do not advise by private message.

How do I do this do I have to send the information to the defendants local courts?Comment

Don't hold your breath. I had to escalate my debt to the high court baliffs who have more power. You can also consider attachment of earnings if you know where they work.Comment

Enforce judgment by retaining a High Court Enforcement Officer - Forget about using County Court Bailiffs.
My personal choice is DCBL https://dcbltd.com/
I have used DCBL 4 times - Last time I used them was about a year ago against a Local Authority who refused to pay up following a court Order against it DCBL succeeded in getting the Order monies out of it, by attending at the Head Office of the Local Authority and threatening to remove goods unless the Order was paid The Order was for £10k - The amount the Local Authority had to pay was nearly 15KComment

Doesn't the judgement have to be for £600+ to transfer to a High Court Enforcement Officer?Lawyer (solicitor) - retired from practice, now supervising solicitor in a university law clinic. I do not advise by private message.

I used attachment of earnings over enforcement once and it worked very well.Originally posted by islandgirl View PostComment

If the judgement is default then you send it to the CNBC writs email. If you used MCOL you can request a WOC online.
If they don't have the assets to pay up you may wish to consider an AOE but you MUST make sure you have the bank account they hold funds in, for example you may decide to use a savings account if you think this has more chance of being able to recover the fundsComment
