High Court transfer note

Judgments over £600 may be eligible for transfer to the High Court for enforcement by a High Court Enforcement Officer. Check whether your judgment type is eligible before applying.

Enforcement options for unpaid CCJs

  • Warrant of Control: county court bailiffs, usually for smaller judgments.
  • Writ of Control: High Court Enforcement Officers for eligible judgments over £600.
  • Charging Order: secure the judgment against property.
  • Attachment of Earnings: deductions from the debtor's wages.
  • Third Party Debt Order: freeze money owed to the debtor, often bank funds.

How is interest calculated?

Judgment interest is normally simple interest at 8% per annum on the outstanding balance. On a GBP5,000 judgment, that is about GBP1.10 per day.

What about partial payments?

This calculator applies payments to accrued interest first, then principal. Keep records of every payment date and amount.

Can I transfer to the High Court?

Eligible judgments over GBP600 can often be transferred for High Court enforcement by an HCEO, subject to exceptions.

What does this mean?

This calculator is designed to help you understand the likely number before you make a decision or start an application.

Your result should be checked against official UK guidance, especially if your circumstances include dependants, exemptions, prior leave, or a complex immigration history.

Treat the figure as a planning tool rather than legal advice. Where the answer affects an application deadline or major payment, speak to an authorised adviser.
