Hello all,
I have a query I hope someone here will be able to answer.
A friend of mine took a Limited company to Small Claims Court for faulty workmanship (double glazing!!) and was successful in obtaining an order for monies owed.
However, they failed to pay up and she sent it to the local sheriff for collection.
She received notification today that the sheriff was unable to collect the debt owed as the compay was dissolved since Feb 08.
What are her options now? Is it worth the expense of attempting to take them back to court or would it be a waste of her time and money? Is it right that she is now out of pocket and left with windows that now need to be replaced?
Anyone who has any experience with the Small Claims procedure and failure to collect by the Sheriffs office would be much appreciated.
