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.
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.

This process is formally known as a CCJ Transfer Up to High Court Enforcement—and it is where Shergroup leads the way.
Here is how to enforce a County Court Judgment through the High Court with Shergroup:
Shergroup can help you apply to transfer the CCJ and obtain a Writ of Control—the legal document that authorises High Court Enforcement.
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.
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.
With fast response times and expert handling, Shergroup’s team can often secure full or partial payment on the first visit.
If you have watched Shergroup on the TV shows Call the Bailiffs: Time to Pay Up or Can’t Pay? We’ll Take It Away, then you have already seen the powerful difference High Court enforcement can make.
Our experienced enforcement officers do not just deliver letters—they deliver results. These shows have highlighted exactly how transferring your CCJ to the High Court can cut through delay, red tape, and avoidance.
