The interim charging order is issued without a hearing. If you do nothing, a final charging order will be issued 28 days later. If you want to object to the final charging order, you must write to the court and creditor within 28 days of receiving the interim charging order. The court may then arrange a hearing to make a decision. You can also write to ask the court to set conditions on the charging order.
One condition that we recommend asking for is an affordable instalment order, if one is not already in place. This is where the court sets a regular payment. If the court agrees to this and you keep up with the payments, the creditor will find it much harder to take further enforcement action through the court. If your CCJ was dated 1 October or later, an instalment order which is up to date also prevents the creditor applying to force the sale of your home.
If you wrote to the court and creditor with objections, or you requested other conditions are applied, the court may arrange a hearing to decide whether to make a final charging order. The hearing will be at your local County Court hearing centre. The hearing will usually be in private chambers with a District Judge and normally a representative from the creditor.
The judge will listen to both sides and decide whether to make the final order or not, and what conditions if any are to be applied. CCJs remain on your credit file for six years from the date they were issued. The charging order on your home is recorded on the Land Registry until you pay the debt in full. It can then be removed by applying to the Land Registry. The year expiry only applies in Scotland.

A charging order changes a joint tenancy into a tenancy in common. Find out more about dealing with joint debts. Charging orders are most commonly used by creditors to secure debts after a CCJ.

Read more about what happens if your creditor gets a warrant of possession. If you have joint ownership of your property with someone and the debt is in both your names, the court can make a charging order on the whole property.
If the debt is only in your name and the property is in joint names, the court can only make a charging order on the share of the property you own.
This means the court must think about how a charging order or an order for sale will affect them. The court needs to think about how making a charging order will affect all the people who live with you and if it will cause them hardship or suffering. This could make it harder for the creditor to get a charging order or an order for sale. That's why it's very important for the court to know about these people.
It's also very important for the people you live with to know about the court hearings. A joint owner, husband, wife or civil partner should be given the chance to go to the court hearing and tell the judge how a charging order will affect them or any family members living with them.

You should check: the date your creditor applied for the original CCJ the date the CCJ was granted what the CCJ says about repayments If your creditor got a charging order before 1 October If your creditor got a CCJ before 1 October , they can only apply for a charging order if either: you missed the deadline for paying the whole debt you're paying the debt in installments and you've missed a payment If the creditor applies for a charging order and you haven't missed a payment deadline, you should go to the court hearing.
If your creditor got a charging order after 1 October If your creditor got a CCJ on or after 1 October , they can apply for a charging order straight away. How a creditor gets a charging order The application for a charging order always has two stages.
Interim charging orders An interim charging order is usually made by a court officer without a hearing. There'll only be a hearing with a judge if either: you're up to date with an installment order that was made before 1 October the court officer thinks there's a reason the application should be considered by a judge If the decision is made by a court officer, your creditor has to send you a copy of the interim order within 21 days of the order being made.
If the decision is made by a judge, they can either: refuse to make an interim charging order make an interim charging order make an interim charging order and set a hearing date at your local county court - at the hearing a judge will consider whether to make a final charging order When your creditor applies for an interim charging order, they'll also register a charge on your property at the Land Registry. Stopping a final charging order being made At the hearing for a final charging order, the court must consider all the circumstances of the case before it decides if it will make the order.
If you haven't missed installment payments For county court judgments made since 1 October , the judge will consider whether you're up to date with any regular payments. Other creditors aren't asking for a charging order If you have more than one creditor, the others might have agreed to let you pay back their debts by installments, instead of asking for a charging order. A charging order is unfair on other people who live with you You might be able to argue that other people who live with you would be severely affected if you had to sell your home.
A charging order is unfair on your other creditors If you have other creditors, you could ask them to object to a final charging order because it would be unfair on them.
What can you do once a final charging order is made If the court decides to grant a final charging order, you might be able to: apply for the order to be 'set aside' ask for conditions to be attached to the charging order get the charging order changed Applying for the charging order to be set aside If a final charging order has been made, you might be able to apply to the court to have it set aside.
Asking for conditions to be attached to the charging order You might be able to ask the judge to stop your creditor from forcing you to sell your property straight away. For example, you can ask for either: your property not to be sold while your children are still at school the final order to be suspended as long as you keep to an agreed repayment plan There might be other conditions you can ask for, depending on your personal circumstances.
Getting a final charging order changed If the charging order has conditions attached, you might be able to ask the court to change them if your financial circumstances change. This construct made life complicated enough when a creditor of the partnership sought to levy on the partnership assets. When a creditor of a partner took action against partnership assets, the result was often chaos. Daniel S. Kleinberger, Carter G. When a creditor obtained a judgment against one partner and he wanted to obtain the benefit of that judgment against the share of that partner in the firm, the first thing was to issue a [writ of execution], and the sheriff went down to the partnership place of business, seized everything, stopped the business, drove the solvent partners wild, and caused the execution creditor to bring an action in Chancery in order to get an injunction to take an account and pay over that which was due by the execution debtor.
A more clumsy method of proceeding could hardly have grown up. The original, version of the Uniform Partnership Act adopted the English charging order statute essentially unchanged.
The Revised Uniform Partnership Act RUPA , promulgated in its final from in , refined the charging order language somewhat but left essentially unchanged the construct and its mechanics. The latter point is noteworthy because RUPA eliminated the original, aggregate-based rationale for the charging order construct. Nonetheless, a charging order provision is part of partnership law throughout the United State, including the more than 35 jurisdictions that have adopted RUPA.
Moreover, every LLC statute contains a charging order provision, even though no one has ever doubted that a limited liability company is an entity and not an aggregate.
As the exclusive remedy, however, the charging order construct goes much further. See Daniel S. The statutory language, although scant, is well understood to contemplate a hearing. What is not clear is to whom the judgment creditor must give notice: to the judgment debtor because the charging order is after all a post-judgment proceeding; to the company because the order, if issued, will directly affect the company; or to both?
The answer is uncertain. See Part IV. Jurisdiction is a complex issue. Once issued, a charging order must be served on the company as with any other order applying to a person. A limited liability company that makes a distribution to the judgment debtor in violation of a charging order risks not only a contempt of court citation, but also a turnover order, i.
However, even with a charging order in place, the judgment creditor has no assurance of collecting on the judgment. The limited liability company might have no funds with which to make distributions, or those managing the company might not choose to make distributions, whether for legitimate or nefarious reasons.
However, why would someone pay for a payment right equivalent to the charging order lien when a court has just concluded that the payment right is more like a dry creek bed than a reliable income stream? Carter G. Despite this strong disincentive to foreclosure, several states have eliminated the additional remedy.
See, e. Code 10A-5A Delaware has gone even further. Code Ann.
