Well this would be a debt from the person who has defamed you to you (and potentially a debt to the state for their share of the court costs).

I'm not massively familiar with what happens when someone doesn't pay a debt. As I understand it though. A civil case is heard, bailiff's arrive at the debtors property and their possessions are re-posed until the debt is cleared. These remain civil proceedings not criminal.
