We do see multiples on this forum. I have seen these High Court Enforcement Officers in operation on a TV programme. The costs are horrendous. I did not think that they could take away a person's ability to work such as a van but it appears that they can.

If You get a civil enforcement at your door under no circumstances let them in your house and keep all your back doors and windows locked do not even open your door to them if you want to talk to them personally I do not talk to them from an up stairs window or through your letter box or go out side and close your door behind you so they can not make peaceable entry to your home they are not allowed to force entry for non criminal
charges. If you can not or will not pay and have a car and expect Enforcement go take out the cheapest log book loan on your car So it has finance attached to it or sell it to a family member you trust who lives at a different address to you with a bill of sale to prove you do not own the car even if it’s registered in your own name A V5 log book is not proof of ownership. Give your self some time to sort things out without giving them money or you possessions

Did you mean to post on a different thread? How is your comment related to Double Recovery and Abuse of Process?1

some people get high court enforcement turn up at their door out of the blue no warning if you need time to sort it out do not let them into your house they are not your friends they are on commission.
Talk to them in the street If you have to make a payment plan under protest then try to get any CCJ set aside and then defend it if you have good grounds to do so
If they take your car you have to prove that you are not the Legal owner think about that before you talk to them.
If you can do that you can make them bring it back with no charges.
Not sure if one could hire a car and make a counter claim if this was the case ?
whatch Can’t Pay Take it away channel 5
watch how they get into people,s houses
ie make peaceable entry
mainly because most decent people are embarrassed to have them on the door don’t get embarrassed talk through your letter box to them do not let them into your house unless you intend to pay
they do not care about the rights and wrongs of individual cases they are on commission and want your money be any means necessary.
The high court enforcement company on channel 5 are now chasing old parking charges that have not even gone to court and using The channel 5 logo on their letters to try and frighten people into paying
I wonder if channel Five are aware of this behaviour ? Disgusting !

If they have no other assets to pay the debt, I think that this is reasonable. Not payment could result in the claimant going out of business.

Yes posted on here because talking about double recovery and then subsequent enforcement action by cival enforcement taking away a van ? I think council PNC are limited in how much can be recovered if you do not pay them eventually in my experience they give up and are time limited the problem with private CCJ,s is once they have won even if you take away the 60 quid add on they can keep increasing recovery costs
this is also something MPs need to sort out and limit
peple really do need to also fight councils adding further charges over 100 pounds that’s how I think the private companies wiill try and eventually get the 60 quid add on legalised by making a comparison to what local councils do .0 -
ok if some one has a CCJ with regard to a private parking contract that went undefended for whatever reason and it has the £60.00 added to the judgment so total judgment just over £200.00 registered at Northampton
Can an application to have the CCJ set aside be made using the double recovery as a reason ? And then get the whole thing tossed out of court ?

No, suggest you read the NEWBIE sticky again, then some posts by @henrik777 and then post this on one of your own threads! Abuse of process is never a defence and certainly not one that can be used to gain a set-aside.2

When can I apply?
The county court rules set out when you can apply to set aside a CCJ. For example:
- an order was made against you in your absence, in certain circumstances;
- there may be an error in the judgment;
- you want to put in a defence and did not have the opportunity to do this;
- the proceedings did not follow the court rules.
- Well this would seem to be better information I could not see it in Newbeeees section so the double recovery or add on would be a reason to set aside ie error in the Judgment or am I missing something ? Or do at least 3 reasons apply ?
