Enforcing a CCJ against a Builder

Follow up on this now old thread.
Having failed to try this clown down, I've now discovered that he has been declared bankrupt. Not a complete surprise as I suspected that was his plan all along to avoid lingering liabilities.
I'm now after advice as to what my options are to at least get something back. To some extent, I've gone past caring about the money (not completely, but its not the overriding factor now). I just want to bring this guy to some form of justice and own up to his responsibilities.
I do have at least two addresses now. Is my best bet high court enforcement action? Any advice gratefully received0 -
Against which party? I thought your judgement was against the limited company? Does it still exist and have any assets? The fact he is (personally?) bankrupt doesn't necessarily mean the company isn't solvent, though it seems unlikely.pumbaa said:

The Company is still listed as active on Companies House. Strike off action was attempted but I put a block on it due to outstanding liabilities. He is a named co-director with his ex-wife. I can add links if needed or take this to a DM0

None of that means it actually has any assets though. And if there are other creditors then you'll be sharing out anything that's left with them.0

If your debt predates the bankruptcy you just need to contact the OR as a creditor to the bankruptcy. You will be lucky to get anything back.
HCEOs in that scenario will be useless as his assets are now owned by the Official Receiver.0 -
That's the kind of direction I was seeking. Can I just clarify what OR and HCEO are in this context please?fatbelly said:If your debt predates the bankruptcy you just need to contact the OR as a creditor to the bankruptcy. You will be lucky to get anything back.

But that all seems a red herring if you don't have a judgement against him personally. Which takes us back to what we were trying to explain to you last December...0 -
It was against the Company and him as a named director0
