CCJ enforcement- all assets under different company name help!

Hi, I’ve posted on here before and had some great advice.
we have a CCJ against a company as they refused to refund a faulty item.
The item cost nearly £7k. With court fees etc we are now owed over £8K!
We have just sent enforcers in. The building was all closed up but they have said they have been there before on behalf on someone else (no surprise!) and all their assets are in another company name.
Does this mean no chance of getting money back? Is there anything we can do?
We don’t want to keep throwing good money after bad.
So frustrating that people can just ignore the law and keep peoples money with zero consequences!

Hmm - can you get the accounts from Companies House and see whether the assets were transferred/when they were transferred? I'd take legal advice from a specialist tbh.

Thank you, they’re set up under lots of company names so not sure if they were transferred but I will definitely have a look.

Did you ask for costs to be awarded?

Actually ignore that I've just realised that you probably wouldn't have been able to claim costs.

@SiouxsieSiouxStiletto yes court costs were awarded and also daily interest from when they refused a refund. All part of the CCJ.

Did you pay any on a credit card?

@underneaththeash no unfortunately not- lesson learnt there!
