High Court writ

Pensionheadache

I took a company trading as Green Measures to court after they didn’t finish the job they had been paid for.  After months of stalling tactics The matter was referred to County Court and I won my case.  The company failed to return my money by the date set in the court order so I had to ask the sheriffs bailiff to go in.  They applied for a high court writ but I still haven’t got my money back.  I can’t afford to loose this money which is almost £9000.  Does anyone know if I can take any further action?

What are the Bailiffs saying to you.

If the bailiffs are saying they have been unable to get the money, and they have no further leverage, I'm afraid the money is lost.  No point in putting good money after bad if there is no hope of success.

Programmes such as 'Can't Pay...' do occasionally show such situations

If this is Green Measures Ltd. the bad news is that there are bigger creditors than you. One of their suppliers is positioning to wind up the company and the hearing is next week.

Realistically the best you can expect is is a return of pennies in the pound from the administrators once the company has been wound up.

That's the problem most of the time.  One may have the relevant writ, but it's impossible to recover monies which aren't there.

I appreciate they owe you money, but it was important to establish whether they have the means to pay before taking action.

For smaller traders who have assets, this is worth doing, but as Green Measures are now being wound up, all you can do is register with their creditors and if there is any money after all assets have been sold, you might get something back. 

Did you pay anything on Credit Card?
