> But it's starting to get expensive at this point

I don't believe this is the case in the UK. By this point the costs are being run up against the defendant and they have to pay the bailiff fees:

Correct - if you're enforcing a judgment in the UK, the cost of doing so gets paid by the defendant. The bailiffs will handle this themselves by seizing enough to cover the judgment amounts and their own costs.

Once you have an order to enforce the judgement your bailiffs can walk into the Facebook's London office and start removing property and nobody will be able to stop them.

I thought this was the case. An unhappy customer of Wizz Air did this recently which is why this was in the back of my mind:

My favourite part of this article:

"He then applied for bailiffs who attended the Wizz Air desk at Luton Airport - saying they could take goods including chairs, tables, computers or an even aircraft."

Brilliant, I'd love to see that enacted!
