Just thought I'd inform others of my current situation, back in 2018 I evicted a non-paying Tenant (prior to Covid) I got 2 CCJ's against the person, 1 was from the possession which awarded me the court fees and the a 2nd when I claimed for the rent arrears and damage to the property. I have now instructed an enforcement agency to try and retrieve the monies owed based on the judgement.
First point, you can't combine both CCJ's into a single enforcement.
Second point, since the first CCJ is under £600 you can't use an enforcement agency to collect this, you either have to get a County Court Bailiff or use a debt collection agency. Unfortunately getting in contact with the county court bailiffs is like getting a T to pay up. So at the moment this aspect is on hold, as I don't want to spook the T with an amount which is so little when the 2nd CCJ is in the thousands. So will try and get in contact some how with them at a later stage.
The only reason why I have decided after around 3-4 years to try and retrieve some money is because the T, still has the driving licence attached to the rental property and never changed it, and received a parking ticket, and states the T owns a 2019 Audi, so the T has clearly come into money somehow..... so lets see what the enforcement retrieves back for me. Be aware this is a long process, and may not be a positive outcome for me but thought I'd share.
