The High Court Enforcement Officers Association represents and supports High Court Enforcement Officers and acts as a voice for our profession. Our vision is to ensure a fair and effective enforcement system in England and Wales. 

In doing that we and our members will:

  • Help creditors – the people and businesses who are owed money – by enforcing their judgments and recovering unpaid debts
  • Inform debtors – the people who owe money - by ensuring that anyone who owes money is treated fairly, ethically and proportionately
  • Support government – by recommending changes and implementing improvements to the legal framework around High Court enforcement

Find out more about our public perception research looking at how the general public in England and Wales view enforcement and enforcement agents.

You can read more detail about what that means for our priorities on our Campaigns section and you can read more about the history and background of the HCEOA in the About us page.
