I heard about this idea elsewhere. It seems even in this country you can issue a similar order against a company. I believe it works rather well and
gets fast results. I wonder if you can do the same to the CEO of a company, I like the idea of turning up to their house and taking goods etc

Didn't we do this already with RBS and Northern Rock ?
I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.

If a customer or organisation owe you money, they don't dispute the amount owed and you have exhausted all reasonable attempts to obtain payment
IIRC you can take out a Winding up Order against them on the grounds that you have come to the conclusion they do not have the assets to meet their
liabilities!
We used this against a major international company in the photographic industry located in West London some years ago who consistently refused to pay
us.
A letter to their CEO explaining exactly how we were going to proceed meant we had a cheque hand delivered the next day!
Cheers, Pewe

This happend when I worked at a small engineering company in the midlands. They didn't pay a bill, so the customer got a winding up order on
the parent company - GEC. The bill was paid very quickly thereafter.

The woman who runs the local hairdressers had a nasty accident in her car. Tesco Insurance agreed to pay a large sum of money - but kept delaying
payment, until nearly 6 months went by.
They paid out pretty quickly after they heard that she'd initiated debt recovery proceedings with a firm of local bailiffs...

I seem to recall a similar story a few years ago, where someone had taken a big company to the small claims court, and they hadnt bothered to turn up,
so lost automatically. They then turned up at the head office with a bailiff.

If they were anything like Sainsbury's they'd demand that they haven't had their 28 days to respond to the court order and
it's not in the terms and conditions they breached
