A charging order is a court assigned document that means basically that a creditor has a legal right against your home so that an unsecure debt becomes secured and should you sell your home they can get there monies back.
You cant sell it without them knowing as it also goes on the Land Registry.
They have to take you to court in order to get one set up. They can if they wish and you have enough equity force a sale.
