Company dissolved as CCJ issued Advice needed please.

[Mark3110]

We applied for a CCJ against a car dealer earlier this year. The judgment went unchallenged by the dealer so the case was awarded in our favour. The was made on May 14th. Unfortunately we did not receive the letter of judgment (lost in the post) from the court, we only found out when we applied for an update a few weeks ago, when we were emailed a copy of the judgement.

We were in the process of applying to the Bailiff to enforce the CCJ when we discovered that the dealer had applied to dissolve the company in April, after being notified of proceedings against them, the dissolvement coming into force July 16th. They have reinvented themselves under a new name trading from the same premises. The new dealership became active as a company on May 25th. One of the owners is listed as a director for both companies.
So the question is, can we still apply for the bailiff to enforce the judgement against the dealer given that the CCJ is in the name of the dissolved company and if not how can we go about collecting the £3,211.43 which is owed to us?

Thanks in advance.

Your debtor is a limited company that is now dissolved. You cannot enforce your judgement against any other person, company or business. You appear unfortunately to have reached the end of the road.

Sorry if that appears tough, but that is how it is.
