No, it will not stop enforcement. The case will progress through the stages, which will incur additional fees for the debtor. If goods can be taken into control, such as a vehicle on the road, these may be sold under the sale or disposal stage, if the case gets that far.
If a debtor engages with the enforcement agent early in the process, they should be able to avoid incurring additional fees and come to a payment arrangement to clear the debt over time, significantly reducing the stress they may be experiencing around the debt.
The creditor may also use other forms of enforcement in conjunction with, or following the unsuccessful enforcement of a writ of control, such as bankruptcy or winding up petition, an attachment of earnings order or a charging order against property, whereby the creditor recovers the debt when the property is sold.
