This guidance is also available in pdf format.

This guidance tells you how to pay your judgment and gives you more information about what the judgment means for you.

Who do I pay?

You must pay the claimant. This is the person or organisation who made the claim against you. The claimant may have a solicitor or representative who will deal with your payments.

The name and address for payment is shown clearly on the judgment form.

If the judgment tells you to pay by instalments, ask the claimant or his or her representative about the best way to pay. The claimant may give you a paying-in book or you may be able to set up a standing order to have the money sent to the claimant straight from your bank account.

Remember: the court cannot accept your payments.
