Do you have anything to enforce a CCJ against - a bank account? some assets in the UK?
Or do you know if he is intending to come back to the UK?
If not, the court process won't help.0 -
I can use a CCJ to issue a warrant of control and use a bailiff.
I believe he's not abroad anymore, now he lives in UK.
I have sent a Letter Before action to my former place where he still goes to pick up his mail regularly.0 -
If you can't tell the bailiffs where to go, the bailiffs won't be much use !
The CCJ is potentially quite a problem for the landlord as it could stop him from getting credit, but if the CCJ goes to an old address he might not find about it for some time.
Might be best to try a tracing agent before spending too much money and time on this.0 -
Sure I don't mind using a tracing agent if that really helps in my case. Are they efficient though?0

They were when I used them. If he is not registered elsewhere they may not be able to trace him but they succeeded 3 time out of 4 with me, the 4th had not registered anywhere or changed the address on their accounts, mail continued to go to the house so at the time there was no way to find another address. Turned out they had done a moonlight and moved abroad.Sure I don't mind using a tracing agent if that really helps in my case. Are they efficient though?Credit card debt - NIL
Home improvement secured loans 30,130/41,000 and 23,156/28,000 End 2027 and 2029

Sorry guys for the late reply, I was abroad for a month.
Would you mind giving me the details of that tracing agent?SusieT said:

Also I have his bank account details (where I sent him the money every month), can I issue a CCJ on that account?

The issue is going to be whether you had a valid tenancy, do you have record to show you paid to live there and that you weren’t a lodger?0
