Marston Holdings (Marston) is the UK’s largest judicial services group.
Although Marston is not governed by an association, an independent Advisory Group provides advice and reviews our culture, ethical standards and procedures. If you would like to find out more information about the Advisory Group, please visit the Marston webpage.
Marston and all of the subsidiary businesses work closely with and are members of the Civil Enforcement Association (CIVEA) and the High Court Enforcement Officers Association (HCEOA) to deliver the highest standards of service throughout the enforcement process.
We follow legislation set out by the Ministry of Justice as part of the Tribunals Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 and follow regulations set out by Ofcom, FCA, CSA Code of Practice and Data Protection Act.
We recover via writs of control and County Court judgments that have been transferred to the High Court for the purposes of enforcement. This will be completed for recovery of money, assets or land, as well as enforcing Employment Tribunal Awards and ACAS settlements, on behalf of individuals, partnerships, small and large businesses.
Marston High Court enforcement is the fastest and most effective form of enforcement in the UK.
When traditional debt collection methods fail, our expertise enables us to prompt immediate engagement from individuals or businesses that have been ordered to pay money, return property or vacate land.
For further information on the process of High Court enforcement, please visit the HCEOA’s website: www.hceoa.co.uk
Tribunal Courts and Enforcement (TCE) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It provides several diverse matters relating to the law, some of them being changes to the structure of the courts and fundamental legal procedures.

Credit reference agencies hold information regarding a person’s financial history commonly referred to as credit history. Credit reference agencies provide your financial information to lenders (i.e. banks, building societies etc.) who use it along with their own guidelines to establish whether to grant you credit.
Therefore, any debt may affect your credit rating. Please note that Marston does not pass any information to credit referencing agencies.
Marston is able to take a number of steps to recover outstanding monies owed to our client via the High Court. There are four stages to this process:
1 – Compliance stage
This involves giving 7 ‘clear’ days’ notice of enforcement if we have not received payment, which provides the amount and date by which payments should be made to avoid further action.
2 –First enforcement stage
This will involve an attendance in order to try and take control of goods and obtain payment. If you are unable to settle in full, then a proposal might be made for settlement, depending on the value of any goods found at the address.
If you are unable to make payment in full, you can make a proposal to pay by instalments, upon which we will liaise with our client to seek approval and respond to you to you, but please bear in mind that we will ask you to detail out your income and expenditure and comply with your proposal whilst we take instructions.
3 – Second enforcement stage
If no payment is received or acceptable arrangement put in place that is strictly complied with, another visit will be made to your premises. If the sum is not paid, or an agreement reached, we will consider proceeding with a removal of the goods, with a view to sale.
If we find that we need to force re-entry to the premises, we will give you a minimum of 2 clear days notice. Please note that we do have a right of entry to recover goods that are subject to a taking control of goods agreement.
4 – Sale and disposal stage
We will write to you to give 7 ‘clear’ days’ notice of the pending sale, and you will be notified of when and where. Following the sale, you will receive a notice which will provide you details of the sale of the goods.
Following our enforcement agents visit, if you are unable to make payment in full, you may be able to make a proposal to pay be instalments, upon receipt of which with a completed Income and Expenditure form we will liaise with our clients to seek instructions as to whether your proposal is acceptable or not.
In order to make a proposal you must
1) complete the online Income and Expenditure form, which will then be sent to us electronically and
2) make your first payment either by card on line, by electronic bank transfer, or calling our office to make a payment
NB: We will be unable to process your proposal without the 1st payment, so if you are in difficulty with this you should contact our office to discuss.
Whilst we await instructions from the client on your proposal you must continue to comply with the proposal and make and keep up the payments, as failure to do so will result in your proposal failing and may result in further action taking place and costs being incurred.
If you do have any questions, or need any assistance either now or at any stage, for example if you have difficulty in make a payment, please contact the office to discuss.
