Hi guys,

This forum has been of great help to me since becoming a landlord. I hope you can advise me on the following issue as well. CCJ obtained against tenant. Now need to trace him and get my money.

I had to take my tenant to court over unpaid rent and managed to secure an order of possession under s.21 grounds 10 and 11.

The court has also kindly applied a CCJ for unpaid rent of £3,142.11 and also court costs of £280, I’m just waiting for the bailiff to set a date and kick the guy out.

Now I am perfectly aware of the fact that the tenant would have obviously vacated the property by the time the bailiff come, packed his bags and will be gone for good. Nevertheless, I am absolutely determined to get back every penny that is owed to me.

How can I go about tracing the tenant? Can you recommend lawyers or services which can do this one my behalf on a no find no fee basis?

Once found, what are my options? As far as I am aware, he doesn’t work and lives on housing benefit and other forms of benefit. Can I contact the council where he resides to have some of benefits diverted to me?

Is the tenant likely to obtain social housing as a result of the eviction? Surely not. Especially with a CCJ? When is like to the council some.months ago they said they will have to contact me for a reference if he applies for social housing.

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Got my house back yesterday!

Fortunately nothing in the house is broken. It just needs clearing out of stuff left behind and a good deep cleaning in the kitchen and some other places.

I am so relieved now.

Now...I have a record of the tenants full name, date of birth and national insurance number. I do not know where he is residing presently but like David suggested I might give him some time to get settled, maybe get a job etc. before I enforce the CCJ.

David: apart from those three details, is there anything I might need to trace him?

What is the fee for the people tracing service (if you are successful in finding them)?
