Small Claims CCJ what next?

Sorry if wrong category....
I filed a small claim for £350 and there was a response agreeing to pay but then no response further after the deadline. I then filed for a CCJ on 12/2/24. As of 5/3/24 I haven't heard anything back other than the acknowledgement email.
I see that I could get a bailiff involved but only for owed sums £600 and up.
I really cant afford to lose the money as my ex husband has since left with no support for my child and I and I am struggling, so I don't want to leave it but I'm not sure what else I can do?
Any advice appreciated ad the website is unclear. Thank you in advance

I think the legal forum would be better to help you.
Good luck with it1 -
So when you asked for summary judgement on 12/2/24, did you get it?
If so, you can now enforce the judgement in one of several ways

There is no lower limit to use the court bailiff.
What the commercial debt collectors do is to write a letter saying 'on (date) xxx county court issued you with an order to pay me £x immediately. I will allow 14 days for payment to be made (say how you want it). If no payment is made I will seek to enforce the judgement'
