Have to say I agree with Anon@10:08am. Indeed the true chronology would be:-

1) Apply to Chelmsford County Court in January for an "Enforcement Production Order" (or whatever it will be called).
2) Chase in February
3) In March get told it was transferred to the Bury St Edmunds processing Centre in January. Chase Bury St Edmunds who have an eight week backlog.
4) Bury ST Edmunds return the application because the case number is incorrect.
5) In April, return it to Bury St Edmunds and remind them it is correct as the enforcement process has a different reference to the divorce proceedings.
6) In May an order is issued. The file has been transferred to Chelmsford so that the bailiff can serve it.
7) In June the bailiff advises that they drove past the debtor's street, but couldn't see him, so it is non-served.
8) Return it to court as the deadline on the order has passed and a new deadline is needed.
9) By July a process server served debtor with order to produce his bank statements.
10) The deadline having been and gone, a suspended committal order is issued.
11) Debtor writes letter to "Your honour the judge. I have never even heard nothing about this for months so I don't see what they are doing. I have given their solicitors everything already so I think this is not necessary".
12) Order made ex-parte by District Judge Bored. "Upon consideration of debtor's letter saying he has provided information, the Order to provide bank statements is discharged".

And on it goes until...

25) Eighteen months later, High Court Enforcement Officer reports. "Debtor has no visible assets and says he has been made redundant. He offered £25 per month which we have accepted as it means we ourselves at least get paid. After deduction of our fees, the 35pence per quarter will be sent to you by bank transfer."
