Taking the matter further keeps it alive in your mind with all the stresses that that can involve. It would stress me out and I used to take people to court for a living!

I don't post on here very often these days, but I just had to make an exception in this case.
Don't let the sod get away with it! I had a similar problem with a debtor not paying in the past. I elevated it to the High Court and sent in the Sheriffs. Those chaps can easily differentiate between 'can't pay and won't pay'. I used an outfit like this to track the debtor down:

I got paid all the money owed, plus all costs.
Make his life a misery, just as he's done to you. Good luck!
hi all,
Well, just come back to this thread after being away for a little while, i can only Sympathise with Geoff, and for what its worth, i would like to appologise to him for doubting him in all this, And as a good will gesture, if you can get the amp to me, then i would be happy to inspect it, and offer my services to help in repairing it. :)
Anthony,TD...
I would definitely take Anthony up on that, Geoff! :)
Marco.
Nice offer Anthony , that's what this forum is all about .
I still can't decide on the way forward, however, I contacted the company that allocates cases to the High Court Enforcement Agents featured in the television programme 'Can't Pay ? We'll Take It Away' and the following is part of their reply.
Dear Geoffrey,
Thank you for your enquiry.
In order for us to obtain a High Court Writ of Control the County Court Judgment needs to be under 6 years old and for a value of not less than £600.00 including Court costs.
Should you wish to proceed you will need to complete the attached Instruction form and return this to us along with a copy of the County Court Judgment and anything else that you feel may help our High Court Enforcement Agent in his pursuit of the debt. We will also require a Court fee payment of £60.00 per case.
Once we receive your instruction we will obtain the sealed Court paperwork for you and allocate the case out to one of our High Court Enforcement Agents for execution.
The Debtor pays our fees in full.
If we are unsuccessful there will be a cost of £90.00 inclusive of VAT, however the Writ is ‘live’ for a year so we do always try our best to obtain payment from the Debtor.
Should you not have an enforcement address for the Defendant we are able to undertake an address trace for £25.00 plus VAT on 'no trace, no fee' basis or an in-depth trace for £45.00 plus VAT again on a 'no trace, no fee' basis.
I have attached a trace instruction form should you need to use this service.
Should you have any additional questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards
