You can pay the High Court Enforcement Officer by debit or credit card, or by cash. Sherforce Enforcement Officers will take payment by cheque, but if the cheque is not met on presentation then you should be aware that the Officer will return to remove whatever goods he has levied on.
It is important to note that the court's judgment will be registered against you with the Registry of Judgments and Orders. Once listed, the entry remains on the register for a period of six years and cannot be removed. The fact that you have a judgment registered against you may make it difficult for you to obtain credit. Banks, building societies and other lenders search the information held by the Registry before deciding whether to grant credit.
Once you have paid the judgment in full you can apply to have the entry against you marked as “satisfied”. This will be an indication to anyone making a search that although you have owed money you have since paid it. Details of how to have the registration marked “satisfied” can be obtained from any County Court or the High Court, or via an application to the County Court or the court that last dealt with your case. The details as to what entries may be registered against you can be found on the online register with Registry Trust at www.registry-trust.org.uk.
Further information about judgment information is provided on the Registry Trust website.
