Third Party Debt Order – Fixed Fee Support

If someone owes you money under a judgment and you believe they have funds in a bank account or money held by a third party, I can prepare your third party debt order application on a fixed-fee basis.

Why people instruct me for third party debt order applications

  • Fixed-fee clarity

  • Full preparation of the application

  • Supporting witness statement drafted for you

  • Clear advice on whether a TPDO is the right enforcement method

  • Guidance on evidence the court will require

  • Optional representation at the hearing

What a third party debt order is

A Third Party Debt Order (TPDO) allows you to recover money owed under a judgment directly from a bank account or from a third party who owes money to the debtor. It can be one of the fastest and most effective enforcement methods, particularly where:

  • the debtor has cash in a current account,

  • the debtor receives payments from clients or customers, or

  • the debtor holds funds with an organisation that can be compelled to pay you instead.

The application involves two stages:

  1. the interim order, which freezes the account; and

  2. the final order, where the court decides whether the money should be paid to you.

A well-prepared application sets out the evidence clearly and increases the likelihood of obtaining both the freezing order and final order.

I prepare the application, draft your evidence, and advise you on the prospects of success and next steps.
