    Most debts are NEVER subject to court action

    Most ccjs are NOT enforced by charging orders

    Most charging orders DON'T progress to orders for sale applications

    Most judges would not grant an order for sale

    Unless you're the sort of person who worries about being struck by a meteorite every time you go out, I would say 'follow the CCCS advice' and concentrate on balancing your income and expenditure.

    We can give better advice if you post a statement of affairs
