DMBM656260 | Enforcement action: distraint: after the levy: withdrawal from distraint

Some content of this manual is being considered for archiving. If there is content you use regularly, please email [email protected] to let us know as soon as possible.

If you withdraw from a distraint you should

• tell the defaulter and auctioneer if appropriate

• treat the distraint costs as irrecoverable (unless an undertaking has been given as in the circumstances described in DMBM656180, DMBM656210 or DMBM656220)

• consider whether you can recover the liability by court proceedings in accordance with guidance.

Where county court proceedings are appropriate, follow the guidance at ‘Net proceeds leave a shortfall’ at DMBM656160.
