Can anyone give me information about charging orders on jointly owned property?

Options
My ex has managed to get a CCJ against him and, because he no longer lives in England and has not corresponded with the debt collection company, the local district court has agreed a final charging order on our jointly owned house. I have been in contact with the company Incasso and have been making regular payments off of the debt although it is not in my name. I have written and told them I will continue to pay until the debt is discharged. Although I did not attend the court, I wrote and advised them of the above.

I have the care of my elderly mother who lives with us and two children in full time education, the youngest is 16. My concern is that the charging order contains no details, just mentions the amount. I suspect that Incasso will now attempt to get an order to sell - can they do this and what should I do to prevent it?
