Legal issues
The creditor must have an enforceable judgment and unpaid balance. The £600 and £5,000 figures concern the forum for execution against goods; they are not general thresholds for every enforcement method.
Control of goods is only one remedy. Known bank funds or property may point to a third-party debt order or charging order instead.
Evidence that matters
Provide the sealed judgment, outstanding balance, claim type, debtor's addresses, evidence of trading, known goods, vehicles or equipment and previous enforcement records.
Reasonable lines of enquiry
Check current trading status, premises and assets before transfer. An asset-light or ceased company may justify a different enforcement strategy.
What happens next
Where the route is available, the required transfer and enforcement paperwork is prepared and a writ of control can authorise enforcement officers to take control of qualifying goods in accordance with the statutory procedure.
Immediate steps
Confirm the judgment balance, the nature of the underlying debt and what assets or premises the debtor actually has.
