enforcing a ccj

[Steve Jones2]

I have a ccj against a company.But the company name is not the same as the bank account I originally paid the invoice that I disputed. (my summons wasn't actiually defended, so I got a default judgement).
Can I get a lien on their bank account to get the CCJ paid direct from the defendant's bank account? Or will it be rejected as it's not the same name as the defendant's. on the CCJ
I hope this is clear!

Err No
Your claim is against the defendent you issued a claim against. You can't go putting leans on accounts that are different to the party you have the claim against, you would need to include that party in the claim.

Who did you make the payment to?

If this was not the company that issued the invoice, why did you pay them? Why didn't you claim against the person/company you made the payment to?

Instruct bailiffs to apply for a Writ of Control if the company has an office with tables and chairs etc then the company may cough up. But if you have sued the wrong company then they are very likely to apply for the judgment to be set aside.

Not sure this correct. Bailiffs are instructed by the courts not private citizens. Debt collection is different.

A writ of control is issued by the court to a named HCEO

Well you are quite corrrect to point out the difference. If it's a debt in the county court then ask it to appoint the court bailiff but better still apply to a high court enforcement officer by "transferring up" for £65 so that they can can apply for a Writ of Control. They are quicker than the county court bailiffs.

However the op needs to check first whether he has sued the correct legal entity.

Whose name was on the invoice? If it didn’t make clear that it was a Limited company, and if your payment was to an individual, you may have a claim against that individual.
