Debt Enforcement Support for UK Businesses
Already have a CCJ? Understand your enforcement options.
Enforcement Support
Obtaining a County Court Judgement (CCJ) is only the first step. If the debtor does not pay voluntarily, enforcement action may be required to recover the debt. There are several enforcement methods available depending on the debtor's circumstances.
Hollingworth Collections can introduce suitable enquiries to enforcement specialists who can advise on the most appropriate enforcement method and manage the process on your behalf.
Important: Hollingworth Collections is not a bailiff service, solicitor firm or regulated debt advice provider. We do not provide legal advice or carry out enforcement directly. Suitable enquiries may be introduced to independent recovery specialists and professional partners where appropriate.

Legal & Insolvency
When pre-legal recovery has not resolved a commercial debt, legal proceedings may be the appropriate next step. Understanding the options available — and which is right for your situation — is essential before committing to legal action.
Pre-Legal Recovery
Legal action is expensive, time-consuming and uncertain. For most commercial debts, pre-legal recovery is the most cost-effective first step — and often the most successful.
Commercial Debt Recovery
Unpaid invoices and overdue commercial accounts are one of the biggest threats to business cashflow in the UK. Whether you're a sole trader chasing a single invoice or an SME managing a growing ledger of overdue accounts, the impact on your business can be significant.
