  • Enforcing judgment

    Hi all,
    I obtained judgment against somebody many years ago and the judge ordered they pay me £1 per month due to their personal circumstances at the time. I initially received payments, but after advising the debtor of my change of address, I have not received any payment since. I did write to them a couple of times, but received no reply. Since then life has been hectic and so I have put it to one side, as I wasn't really sure what to do. Time has flown by and I have realised it's now just over 6 years since the last payment was received.
    ​​​​​​
    I have now discovered that the debtor's circumstances have changed dramatically and they could afford to pay the debt in full.

    What options do I have available to me to either get payment in full or increase the monthly amount? Is there any issue with the debtor not having paid any money for over 6 years now?

    Thanks in advance.

        Just over 6 years ago now. I think it was April 2014.

        Thanks

          You may have trouble then. If no enforcement has been forthcoming for 6 years then to proceed you may have to apply to the Court explaining why you have not bothered in the interim. These applications are rarely granted - most are if the defendant has moved and not been traceable, in particular those that moved abroad before returning back to the UK.

          Having been granted a CCJ then the debt is always owed but the best you may be able to hope for is to ask "nicely" for it.
