Long story short, took a company to court early part of this year, due to poor workmanship, 'won' at court, company applied to get set aside, they failed, original court order still stands, they ignored the CCJ.

High Court Sheriffs instructed they have now come back to me and said the registered company address is an accountants, the other office address is a virtual office, there is nothing else we can do.

I am owed just short of £10k. Other than going down the route of a Winding Up Petition, which will cost another chunk is there anything else anyone can suggest? Thanks in advance.

Hmm. Visit a director's house maybe? Being a limited company doesn't make them completely immune I think.

I’d try another sheriff. Shouldn’t be that hard to find some company vans.

The term is High Court Enforcement Officer (HCEO).

As explained here (first hit on Google, not a recommendation): https://www.qualitybailiffs.co.uk/news/ccj/differe...

Nothing to lose by trying another one I guess. Unfortunately the one I used successfully a while back is no longer trading so DYOR.

Ask why they can’t do anything else before moving on. Shirly as suggested the money and business must go somewhere.
