Liverpool and the North West represent a significant commercial market. Debt collection in Liverpool follows UK national procedures with regional enforcement considerations.
Claims are issued through Money Claim Online (MCOL) regardless of debtor location. For claims above GBP 100,000 or requiring specific court directions, the Liverpool Civil and Family Court handles proceedings locally.
High Court Enforcement Officers (HCEOs) for claims transferred to the High Court (mandatory for claims above GBP 600). County Court bailiffs for smaller claims. Third-party debt orders for bank account seizure. Charging orders against property.
For debts above GBP 750, presenting a winding-up petition at the Companies Court creates immediate payment pressure. The petition's advertisement in the London Gazette freezes the debtor's bank accounts.
Liverpool's economy is diversified across logistics, manufacturing, professional services, and the digital sector. The Mersey Maritime cluster means significant shipping and trade-related commercial disputes.
6 years for contract claims under the Limitation Act 1980. 12 years for claims under deed.
