Consultation description

On 17 July 2023, the government published a review of the fees that enforcement agents (EAs) and High Court Enforcement Officers (HCEOs) can recover. The review announced the government’s intention to uplift those fees, following a consultation on a wider package of reforms about when the fees can be recovered.

This consultation seeks views on that package of reforms, which aims to ensure the sustainability of the enforcement sector, whilst tightening up the rules that EAs and HCEOs must follow to ensure that people in debt are given more opportunities to settle the debt at the earliest and cheapest stage possible.
