Intrum chasing 8 year old ccj

Had a letter today from the lovely folk at Intrum. They mention a judgment that was obtained against me in 2015 and that they are considering enforcing the debt. Obviously they are hoping I’ll panic and make contact with them but am I right in my understanding that there’s not a cat in hells chance of them being able to enforce a ccj that is 8 years old?

Well they would need specific permission from the court. The court's default position is that judgements should be enforced within 6 years. Most bailiff organisations accept that Limitation Act 1980 s24 applies. If Intrum don't then there is other legislation that says the same.
Do they quote the court and reference? You can ask the court for the particulars of claim. They may not still have records from 2015 and in that case Intrum will never get it enforced.
Did they say what method of enforcement?0
