Don’t bother using this company. They just go through the motions giving unhelpful non progress reports and don’t actually do anything and let the debtor run rings around them. The agent had no idea h... See more

Court bailiffs vs the sherrifs

They got the job done the only thing I did not like was the communication side of things alot of the time I had to chase them for updates and find out what was going on they use people who are self employed so if they don't win they don't get paid were as the courts bailiffs get paid a salary so they don't need to do any chasing I am glad I chose this route otherwise I might not have got paid

Throughout the whole process The Sheriff's were always at the end of the phone and keeping us constantly advised. It was a very long drawn out process which had nothing to do with the Sheriff's but more to do with the Court case going on for over 2 years. Once the High Court Writ had been issued we received our monies in full for each claim within a couple of weeks.

Told us that they would collect the moneys from a debter .we had to chase them to get them to go to the property when they did they made very little or no attempt to claim moneys then still charged us £90.00
Fees when asked why they did not claim moneys they stated that there is no moneys there even when we know and told them and showed them messages that the debter said she had had a large settlement. And owned a Holiday home as well . Very little help in this case if the debter sais they won't pay they just walk away and charged us

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. In the case you mention, unfortunately there were no goods available to take control of. For the other case we enforced for you, we were able to recover the full amount you were owed.

Bad Debtor

The debtor was experienced in debt avoidance and played the system, moving address, pleading poverty etc. Sheriff’s office did a search and found him. Then got the money I was owed. Thanks

Complete waste of time. A few emails, a knock on the door and it becomes too hard.

We engaged the Office to help recover a debt against a former tenant amounting to £14k. After 4 months the agent, Mr Brereton, has sent the same email on a bi-weekly basis which has elicited no response whatsoever. He has knocked on the door three times, and even though the defendant is in the property has declined to answer the door. A car, registered to one of the debtor’s sits undisturbed in the driveway. Mr Brereton now advises that he can do no more. Complete waste of time. We now intend to employ private bailiffs who we expect to have more determination than that shown here.

Great service

From point of engagement up to the full settlement of the debt, the Sheriffs Office service was excellent. It took all the stress out of the situation.
