A County Court Judgment (CCJ) is a legal ruling issued by a county court in England or Wales when someone fails to repay the money they owe. Whether you are a business chasing an unpaid invoice or a private landlord seeking rent arrears, a CCJ is your formal recognition that money is owed to you.
But here is the catch: a CCJ does not enforce itself. It simply confirms the debt. So, what happens when your debtor ignores the judgment?
That’s where transferring your CCJ to the High Court for enforcement becomes a game-changing move.
Why Transfer a CCJ to the High Court?
· Faster Enforcement
County court bailiffs often face lengthy delays—sometimes up to 12 weeks (about 3 months) or more. In contrast, High Court Enforcement Officers (HCEOs), like those at Shergroup, can begin enforcement within a few days of receiving the writ.
· Greater Authority
HCEOs have the power to |
- Attend the debtor’s property
- Seize goods to cover the debt
- Enforce judgments over £600 (excluding regulated consumer debts)
These added powers make High Court enforcement more efficient and effective for recovering larger debts.
When Can You Transfer a CCJ to the High Court?
You can transfer a County Court Judgment to the High Court for enforcement if:
- The judgment is for £600 or more
- The debt is not regulated by the Consumer Credit Act
- The judgment has not been paid within the court-ordered time
This process is formally known as a CCJ Transfer Up to High Court Enforcement—and it is where Shergroup leads the way.
The Step-by-Step Process to Transfer a CCJ to the High Court
Here is how to enforce a County Court Judgment through the High Court with Shergroup:
1. Apply for a Writ of Control
Shergroup can help you apply to transfer the CCJ and obtain a Writ of Control—the legal document that authorises High Court Enforcement.
2. Debtor Notice & Compliance
Once the writ is issued, we send a notice of enforcement to the debtor. This gives them 7 days to pay before further action is taken.
3. Enforcement Officer Visit
If payment is not made, a Shergroup High Court Enforcement Officer will visit the debtor’s premises to collect payment or seize goods of value.
4. Successful Recovery or Asset Seizure
With fast response times and expert handling, Shergroup’s team can often secure full or partial payment on the first visit.
