How to register a CCJ on the register of judgments orders and fines?

Hello, the order for possession (accelerated procedure) orders the tenant to pay me fees. However, it also gives the following warning to the tenant:

“If you do not pay the money owed when it is due and the claimant takes steps to enforce payment, the order will be registered in the Register of Judgments, Orders and Fines.”

The tenant has not made the payment. It is my understanding that the registration of the CCJ in the public register is not automatic and will require me to take further action but I am not entirely sure what I need to do to make this happen. Could anyone knowledgeable in this matter provide me with a quick rundown of the next steps? For clarity, I just need to register the CCJ. Well aware that I am throwing good money after bad.

Thanks,

Alex

I have bought Direct Line insurance with Legal cover (Supplied DAS Law with info required for court action) so It would't cost me thousands. The Tenants Lawyers are salivating because they charge £300 an hour

Registering a CCJ is not like getting a CCJ against someone using MCOL (these are automatically registered if you ask them to be). A CCJ from an S8 can only be registered by
warrant of control in the County Court
writ of control in the High Court
third party debt order
charging order
attachment of earnings order
All of these you have to pay for, so a cheaper option would be to use MCOL directly and just ask for £300 (cost to pursue this is £35) as in my experience you are unlikely to get any money back from a tenant you are evicting. - this will give them a CCJ
