What is civil enforcement?

Civil enforcement is the collection of unpaid fines and taxes on behalf of local authorities and agencies. This involves a court process that allows enforcement agencies to use warrants and orders to take control of goods in lieu of payment.

Enforcement action can be an important trigger for people to seek much needed debt advice and support, and the profession has strict safeguards in place to ensure that the vulnerable are provided with the right protection. CIVEA’s members seek to secure payment from those who won’t pay, and support those who can’t pay.
