You can ask the court to help you collect your civil debt if the debtor does not pay. This is called civil enforcement. You will manage the civil enforcement process yourself, and you may have to pay fees.
You must manage and apply for civil enforcement yourself
The court does not enforce judgment orders automatically. If you are a creditor and want the court to take enforcement action against a debtor, you must:
select the enforcement actions you think are best for your situation
apply to the court to carry out the enforcement actions you have selected
give the court correct, up-to-date information about the debtor to support the specific enforcement actions you are requesting
pay the associated fees for each enforcement action you request.
Usually, the court will make your contact details available to the debtor unless you specifically ask them not to.
Deciding what enforcement action to apply for
If you had a civil case at court and the other person (the debtor) has been ordered to pay you but they haven't, the court might be able to help you get money.
