High Court Enforcement vs County Court Judgment: Why Shergroup Recommends the High Court Route
If you’re a Judgment Creditor in England or Wales, you may be asking: “Should I use High Court Enforcement or County Court enforcement to recover what I’m owed?” It’s a fair question—especially when time, money, and stress are on the line.
At Shergroup, we’ve helped thousands of claimants turn their court awards into results—and based on decades of hands-on enforcement experience, we can say with confidence that High Court Enforcement is the better option in most cases.
But don’t just take our word for it. In this guide, we’ll explore the key differences in the High Court Enforcement vs County Court Judgment debate, so you can make an informed, empowered decision about recovering your money.
What’s the Difference Between High Court and County Court Enforcement?
In short:
- County Court Bailiffs (CCBs) operate under the authority of the County Court. They are salaried civil servants who handle a range of duties, including debt enforcement.
- High Court Enforcement Officers (HCEOs) operate under the authority of the High Court. They are private professionals, authorised under a High Court Writ of Control, who work on commission and specialise in enforcing judgments quickly and effectively.
When it comes to enforcing a County Court Judgment (CCJ), you have the right—if the debt is over £600 and not covered by the Consumer Credit Act—to transfer it to the High Court for enforcement by an HCEO.
Why Choose High Court Enforcement?
1. Faster Action
Speed matters. County Court Bailiffs typically have a backlog of cases and may take weeks—or even months—to act. In contrast, High Court Enforcement Officers can often act within days of receiving the writ, offering you a faster route to payment.
2. Higher Success Rates
Because HCEOs are commission-based, they are driven to succeed. Their personal incentive to recover debts often results in significantly higher success rates compared to County Court Bailiffs.
At Shergroup, our analytics show consistent performance metrics that surpass what’s typically expected from County Court processes.
3. Greater Powers
HCEOs have more robust legal powers under the Taking Control of Goods Regulations 2013. These include entering commercial premises, seizing goods, and taking immediate action when a debtor refuses to cooperate.
4. Prioritised Recovery
When a CCJ is transferred to the High Court, it takes precedence. Debtors are more likely to pay up to avoid the seizure and sale of assets.
5. Tailored, Professional Service
Shergroup offers CCJ Free Reviews—so you can explore High Court enforcement risk-free. Our Business Solutions Advisors will guide you through the transfer process and explain everything in plain English. No jargon. No surprises.
Real Clients. Real Results.
We’re not just another enforcement agency. We’re recognised by court staff, legal professionals, and claimants as a top-tier, results-driven enforcement team.
Just ask Carl Miller, a small business owner who shared this:
“We’ve been dealing with Donna and the level of service is impeccable. Professional, understanding, and there when we need them.”
This is the service standard we uphold at Shergroup—every client, every time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What’s the difference between a County Court Judgment and High Court Enforcement?
A County Court Judgment (CCJ) is a court order to repay a debt. High Court Enforcement is a method of enforcing that judgment when the debt is £600 or more and meets legal criteria.
Q2: Can I transfer any CCJ to the High Court?
Not all. It must be for £600 or more and not regulated by the Consumer Credit Act. Contact Shergroup for a free CCJ review to check your eligibility.
Q3: How long does High Court Enforcement take?
Once the writ is obtained, enforcement can begin in just a few days. This is significantly quicker than County Court Bailiff action.
Q4: What happens if the debtor refuses to pay?
Our High Court Enforcement Officers will attempt to take control of goods. If necessary, these goods can be sold to repay the debt.
Q5: How much does it cost to use High Court Enforcement?
There is a court fee of £71 for the writ. Shergroup also charges a compliance fee, but this is recoverable from the debtor when enforcement is successful.
Q6: Is Shergroup regulated?
Yes, we are regulated by the High Court Enforcement Officers Association (HCEOA) and operate under strict ethical and legal standards.
