CCJ Enforcement

I'm sorry if this is post is in the wrong place, but Im at my witts end and seeking advice regarding a debt owed to me/my hubby.


Cutting a long story short, we have had a long running dispute with a neighbour over anti social behaviour which resulted in them causing £1500 of damage to our property. Although we are private home owners, our neighbours are council tenants. After much arguing, our neighbours finally agreed to pay for the damage damage in monthly installments via a community order. We agreed to give them benefit of doubt, save police time and spare them a potential criminal record and so an amount was agreeded. The money was never forthcoming and after many more arguments we took them to small claims court and won our case.

We paid our local court £110 to enforce the judgement however, upon the bailiffs visiting them home they have nothing worth taking and so they deemed their work done. My neighbours do not work, but find the money for Sky tv, pubs every weekend, smoking etc etc and declared a disposable income of almost £500 in court papers (after all deductions for expenses) so they absolutely can afford to pay even a nominal amount.

We are mot exactly flush for money. Hubby works 12 hour shifts plus overtime to make ends meat. We have had to budget to repair the damage caused. We have contatcted the council who are not intetested saying its a civil matter and they won't get involved. Where do we go from here? Surely if a court orders a sum of money to be paid it should be enforcable? Any advice would be most welcomed.
