    Back to the post. 

    We won the MCOL by default as defendent did not submit his defence on time originally. 
    He then paid to set his judgement aside.

    Our option is to now pay for the high court bailiffs if we can. (at a cost of £400 ish). for this they will initially send him a letter of intent (or to those lines). They will not just attend and seek re-imbursement. 

    Our concern is that if he gets a letter from the bailiffs then he will just go back to square 1 again with the solicitor and we start all over again to no avail.

    just doesnt seem to be a path that leads this to be seen by a judge so that it can be decided on impartially.

    You can't now pay the bailiffs if the judgement has been set aside.  You have to go through the court process again, with him paying the costs this time.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.
