The Sheriffs have much more power to collect the money owed so you don't have to faf around.  Looks like a £60 court fee to the high court is what you pay, this will be claimed back from the debtor anyway.  https://www.courtenforcementservices.co.uk/services/ccjs-transferring-high-court/  https://thesheriffsoffice.com/articles/transferring_up_-_a_guide they still have to have seizable assets to be successful, it looks like here we are dealing with "brothers" so its likely the assets are not in the named defendants name or company???

katekate   15 #102 Posted July 31, 2019 There is a chance of recovering the money it's just that some people will delay payment until the very last minute. The people we are dealing with have previously been in prison for fraud so I suppose them paying up depends very much on how well they want their reputation to be now. Hopefully they might be wanting to turn themselves around and pay up.

The Sheriffs have much more power to collect the money owed so you don't have to faf around. A word of caution here.  Most dodgy car dealers trade from a rented pitch and offices (often a shipping container) and never re-register any of their vehicles until they are sold, therefore a bailiff can have as much power as they want but if there are literally no assets to seize then it is hard to recover the debt. Unless of course, they are stupid enough to arrive at work in their top of the range BMW or Range Rover the bailiffs will generally walk away empty handed.  Dodgy mechanics are easier to deal with as they usually have one or two pieces of expensive equipment that can be seized such as diagnostics machines  or specialist tools.
