What enforcement method should I choose?

Each way of enforcing your judgment is aimed at a different aspect of the defendant's assets:

• Goods owned (warrant of execution)
• Wages or salary (attachment of earnings order)
• Savings (third party debt order)
• Assets (charging order)

Choose the one which is most likely to get you your money. For example, if the defendant is unemployed or self-employed, you would be wasting your time and money asking for an attachment of earnings order. But if the defendant has money in a bank account, a third party debt order might be suitable.
