DMBM605430 - Pre-enforcement: Preparing a case for enforcement: Enforcement and Insolvency criteria: Actions in DPOs/DMUs

Actions in DPOs/DMUs

Where you have decided that the debt is suitable for either enforcement or insolvency action and

  • DPOs have completed the QG checks and
  • DMUs have completed their current, relevant checklists/aide-memoires

you should apply the revised selection criteria to determine the correct next action. These can be found at


DMBM605440

Distraint criteria

DMBM605450

CCP criteria

DMBM685210

Insolvency Proceedings criteria


Where the selection criteria cannot be applied for any reason you should follow this guidance and return the case to the stage at which the shortcomings can be resolved. It may then flow through the Gateway later when you can then make an informed decision on the way forward.
