Our vision is to: “ensure a fair and effective enforcement system in England and Wales”.

Our mission is to: “represent and support our members and act as a voice for the profession”.

In doing that we and our members will:

  • Help creditors – the people and businesses who are owed money – by enforcing their judgments and recovering unpaid debts
  • Inform debtors – the people who owe money - by ensuring that anyone who owes money is treated fairly, ethically and proportionately
  • Support government – by recommending changes and implementing improvements to the legal framework around High Court enforcement

Our campaign work

We work with partners on a series of campaigns that we believe can help deliver this vision for a fair and effective enforcment system in England and Wales.
