This is in England, UK- not sure if any british lawyers can help?

My friends are landlords and the tenants did not pay their rent for almost a year (slightly complex backstory involving them trying to sue for 'injury' due to poor flooring'), so essentially owed £10,000. This went to county court hearing where the tenants agreed they owed this money. The order was for this to be paid back -however it was not specified how much over what period of time.
Initialy the tenants repaid at £50 per month, which they have now stopped.
How can the landlords get back this money which they is owed? Would it be an idea to write a letter to the tenants essentially ordering them to repay at X amount (a reasonable amoutn lets say £200 per month), with the threat of further legal action if they do not comply in the next month?

I'm sorry, this forum deals with US law only.

Ive seen the shows about court judgment enforcement in Uk , `the if you cant pay we will take it away show and this forum is for USA based legal problems Perhaps considering that UK landlord tenant law is so very different please look for a UK based forum that is like this or go talk to A LAWYER.
