That's actually not true (with court debts)...they can be immediately and paid in full. The regular instalment ordered is to temporarily prevent further action and therefore costs being incurred. If the creditor were to find out the OP's had a windfall they can take further court action with further costs to take it directly from the bank account of the OP.

Until such time that the court orders a variation as to how the debt is to be repaid, the last order stands. It is up to the creditor to apply for that variation.to the court. Consequently the only amount due and payable is what was ordered by the court.

If you're not fit to work through depression you should see a doctor and go on ESA. Obviously you will have some deductions because of your capital but not a lot.

Freezing of assets and repatriation is only for fraud or other criminal activities, not 'normal' court enforced debts such as a CCJ.

When your not in cukcooland, billy you do know some useful stuff.


To the OP, as someone has mentioned if suffering from depression then look into ESA. The capital you have still entitles you to claim income based benefits - but at a reduced amount as previously commented upon.
If you stop claiming benefits you could be liable for full NHS prescription costs, council tax as per your council's scheme, rent, NIC stamp.
