The bit in here that seems unnecessary is the "debtor's examination" and subsequent arrest; neither of the UK debt recovery systems have a provision for forcing people to come to court, and it doesn't seem necessary anyway. If you fail to show up to the court process at which a debt judgement is made against you, then the bailiffs can go to work. But you can't be arrested.
