Enforcement Action

At Wilkes, we understand that obtaining a court judgment is only part of the battle in debt recovery. Enforcing that judgment effectively is crucial to actually recovering the debts owed to you. Our enforcement services are designed to ensure that judgements are not just symbolic victories but are effectively acted upon.

How We Can Help

Our enforcement process is designed to handle all aspects of enforcing court judgments:

  • Asset Seizure: We facilitate the enforcement of court judgments through asset seizure, by identifying the possible assets and then working with the enforcement officers to seize them legally and ethically.
  • Income Garnishment: Where applicable, we can arrange for wage garnishment to recover debts directly from the debtor’s income. Our solicitors complete all the necessary paperwork and work with the directors’ employer to ensure the process is implemented.
  • Charging Orders: We can secure charging orders against the debtor’s property, providing you with a means to recover your debt. It ensures they cannot sell these assets without settling.
  • Bank Account Levies: We can obtain orders to freeze and recover funds directly from the debtor’s bank accounts.
  • Ongoing Management: Once the judgment is made, our team continues to manage the case to ensure compliance with the ruling and recovery of debts.

Who We Can Help

With our vast range of experience, we can offer our enforcement action services to several types of businesses, including:

  • Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs): Inconsistent cash flow can stall SMEs’ growth; our support enforces judgment to recover vital funds
  • Large Corporations: We provide comprehensive enforcement solutions and systems tailored to complex cases and large-scale operations.
  • Financial Institutions: Unpaid debts are common in the financial sector. We assist with the enforcement of loans and other financial obligations.
  • Service Providers: When clients don’t pay your invoices, your business suffers. We ensure timely compliance with court judgments across various industries, such as accountancy or manufacturing.
