DMBM667400 | Enforcement action: county court proceedings: charging orders: enforcement once a charging order has been made

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.

A charging order is normally security for a debt, not satisfaction of it. This means that other methods of enforcing the judgment are still allowed and can be taken simultaneously.

Where you have obtained a final charging order and:

• you consider that another method, or methods, of enforcement will be productive

• the conditions for enforcing a charging order by sale do not apply

leave the final charging order in place and proceed with the alternative course of enforcement action.

If you consider a judgment summons is appropriate, seek advice from the EIS Bradford CCP Technical Team (Debt Management Bradford).

Enforcing a charging order by sale

If you feel that a final charging order should be enforced by sale; for example, where the charge is on either:

• a financial product

• property that has sufficient equity to clear the debt

• an investment or holiday property
