Won your case but they still won't pay? Five enforcement methods.

All add their fee to the debt and recover it from the defendant. Pick the one that matches what you know about them.

Your five enforcement methods

Method	Fee	Best when…
Warrant of control	£83	Defendant has goods at home or business. Enforcement agents (formerly bailiffs) attend, list goods, and remove them if not paid. Most common method.
High Court Writ of Control	£71 + HCEO fees	Judgments over £600. High Court Enforcement Officers are tougher and faster than County Court bailiffs. Often more effective for business defendants.
Attachment of earnings	£135	Defendant is employed (PAYE). Court orders the employer to deduct payments from the defendant’s wages until the debt is paid.
Third-party debt order	£139	You know which bank holds the defendant’s account (and they have funds in it). Freezes the account and redirects the money to you.
Charging order	£139	Defendant owns property. Secures your judgment as a charge on their home or land. Can be followed by an order for sale if the debt is large enough.
Oral examination (N56)	£59	You don’t know what assets the defendant has. Summons them to court to disclose their income, savings, and possessions under oath.
