Money Claims Help?

Gunstar

Hi all,


I've been searching the forums and can't find a dedicated section so please move if I'm wrong.


So basically I'm freelance and had a client avoiding payment for almost a year so I was forced to take them to small claims and was awarded a CCJ.



That was over 2 months ago and I don't know how to chase my debt, I can't so anything from the money claims dashboard or get through to them on phone or get a reply via email. Help?

See https://www.gov.uk/make-court-claim-for-money/enforce-a-judgment which gives all the options.

Morning all. I need some further advice if possible?


I've just followed up with the baliffs and the company has now ceased trading and on companies house it states:


20 Nov 2018 First Gazette notice for voluntary strike-off
09 Nov 2018 Application to strike the company off the register


The baliffs have had no reply from the property, post or phone.



Is there a next step or is that it? Will I just have to write it off?

Almost certainly sadly!

You are a creditor of the company so, if it has any assets, you should get a percentage of what is owed to you if there is any money left after certain preferential creditors are paid first.

Frankly, in the situation you describe, that is unlikely.

I assumed that would be the case, just a final clutching at straws! Thanks for the help!
