Court Order Against Debt Collector

We got a court order against a large debt collector in UK for costs of atteding court - The judge awarded us costs against the debt collector after they took us to court..
1) What expenses are reasonable to claim under costs - Can I claim for los of one day work whilst attending, taxi fares, preparation.
2) e have written to them and told them a court order has been sent in our favour and reminding them that itis vry serious to ignore a court order - They havent replied and its been months since we first started -
If they dont follow the court order how can I get the money? Funninly if it was the other way round they would have had bailifs round in a snap - Now its my turn for justice but I dont know how to squeeze them...

you can send the bailiffs if they ignore a court order, can't you? doesn't Martin say something about this in his article on reclaiming bank charges?
Let him know if you do
Good luck with it.

To get the baillifs involved, you will need to apply for a warrant of execution from your local county court. They should be able to tell what else you need to do.0

I think that you will find that the DCA will pay your claim, since they would not be allowed to ply their filthy trade if they have a CCJ recorded against them.I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

Yeah - But these guys are pretty thick - I ve written to them more then six times , and they havent written back once.
