Thread: Jbw are now high court enforcement officers

OMG Poor people

I am not sure what gets classed as a highCourt debt?

Sorry letsmakeamark
I don't understand that can you please explain? Never heard of it before

thank you so much I didn't realise this, Do they have to take further action before this?

Nope

JBW are not HCEO's yet and the Consumer Credit License is nothing to do with this. The CCL merely allows them to collect debts (by phone and letter) and is not related to enforcement (bailiffs & HCEO).

They would need an Authorised High Court enforcement officer to be able to enforce CCJ's over £600. Mind you, if they pay enough, I'll bet they get one.

Not so, I've heard rumours they're in trouble and he has no money to bail them out...

The current CCL application forms cover bailiff activity too !!!!!!

What is the difference in powers between a county court bailiff and an HCEO?

I knew as soon as I posted the question, that I'd asked it incorrectly.

What I should have said is, what is the benefit to JBW by applying to be HCEO. I assume it either gives his bailiffs more power or allows him to charge greater fees than he can now?

I have read the link but it didn't seem to contain the answer.

As far as i know the reason is that they can then go out and collect judgements that the creditor has 'upped' to the high court.

The only reason a creditor would up the judgement to a high court one (costs about £50 quid or so), is because there will be a higher sucess rate in the collection of the money.

HCEO's punt out their filthy work to self employed bailiffs who get paid on results , - therefore if he collects the debt he collects big percentage in £££.

Now, as we all know HCEO's are bound by the HCEO regulations etc laid down by the court, but this seems to mean nothing , and these guys don't care anyway as they make up the rules as they go, so they basically collect what they want!

i.e as i recently experienced... £1750 of fees on a £700 judgement- but dont worry this is kosher apparantly!

All absolute theiving scum.
