Taking payment and not supplying the goods

Before you take action bearing in mind he has an unpaid judgement are you sure he has the will or the money to pay if you get a CCJ Is he a sole trader or a LTD company?

The Owner, its a one man company...

The owner and the company are completely different legal entities. In law, a company is a person in its own right.

If your problem is with the company, then you cannot normally go after the owners. The owners are the shareholders. Directors may be shareholders as well, or may be mere employees, albeit with certain responsibilities. Only if there has been a serious crime, is it likely that the court will hold the directors to be indistinguishable from the company.

Many claims fail because the wrong target has been selected, so you need to be absolutely sure who you are going after, and why.
