Testimonials

I am writing to thank you for the sterling service provided by your office in recently successfully recovering this bad debt so efficiently and promptly. This matter had been dragging on for many months and all usual attempts in trying to get payment had failed and other collection routes were considered unsuitable from past experience due to not being up to the task of actually following through firmly and achieving successful and full recovery. I would have no hesitation in passing your details to others who are suffering similar debt repayment problems. Thank you once again for the excellent service.

J. R. Chalk, Solent Surveys

We had a debt that I had been chasing for ages, the debtor knew the court system well and used it to his advantage to evade payment. I was eventually able to get judgment by default as he was avoiding service of the documents. Then came the tricky task of collecting the debt. Having used the Sheriffs office before I thought I’d give them the task, we gave the Sheriff the 3 different addresses the debtor used on the internet and left it to them. Less than 3 weeks later I have heard that they were able to collect all the monies due. I thought that this was one debt that would end up being written off but thanks to The Sheriffs Office it wasn’t. My directors are a very happy bunch today – so am I. Thanks.

Everys Solicitors, Exeter

We have recently had reason to use your services after being recommended to do so by our solicitors. After a successful conclusion to our case we felt we had to write to tell you how impressed we were with the service we received. From our daughter’s first telephone call to find out which forms were required when she spoke to a very helpful gentleman named James, through to promptly received e-mails, your staff have been courteous and professional and we have no hesitation in recommending your services. Thank you once again for your help.

Mr & Mrs Jeanes, Dorset

Once again, I am grateful to you and the Sheriffs Office for their help in obtaining the full amount owed in a very short time frame (within a month from first contact), keeping me up to date with developments and explaining the legal process and protocol to obtain money owed in a clear, concise and helpful manner. As a result of the excellent manner in which The Sheriffs Office has handled my claim, I have no reservations in recommending your services and indeed, have done so to others in a similar situation as that experienced by myself.

Just wanted to send a thank you to you and your colleagues for your professional and efficient help throughout the squatters problem at the Home of Compassion. Can I also place on record our recognition of the contribution of your BDM, who throughout the planning kept me informed of progress and issues.

Adam, we are very impressed with the skills the Sheriffs Office uses in collecting the Council’s sundry debts. The emphasis is on collecting the debt through discussion and negotiation rather than removal of goods. Communication is a key factor and we are regularly updated and consulted about cases at all stages. This is an important factor of their success.

Denise H, Sundry Debt Court Officer, Gravesham Borough Council

As you can imagine, it was quite a traumatic ordeal fighting a county court case that lasted around two years, but when you are convinced you are in the right it is something you must do, whatever obstacles are thrown in your way. Eventually judgment was made in my favour and the court awarded me damages with an order they be paid within 14 days. Needless to say no money was forthcoming and I was unsure what to do next. The court advised I talk to the Sheriff's Office in Croydon, so I did, and that proved a major turning point. The very next morning somebody turned up in Cardiff to meet me and guide me through the options. I duly filled in the paperwork, paid a small legal fee, and within days they were onto the case. Despite encountering various difficulties along the way, the SO kept me regularly updated, both by email and on the phone with regard all actions they were taking on my behalf, For several weeks they worked what seemed like unceasingly on the case, I was amazed when out of the blue they contacted me to say they had successfully collected the money which has now been delivered to me, with interest and full refund of the small legal fee. From the time they were first brought in on the case to money being in my bank account was no more than six weeks. Thank you so much SO – a job well done! A shining example to us all!. Anyone wanting a reference about their work – just ask!

Haydn P., Cardiff

I am truly astounded and totally in awe at how quickly, efficiently and effectively you have resolved my case. This has caused me untold sleepless nights over the last 18 months or so. Even though I pursued this initially through the courts myself and won, it felt like the legal system was always in favour of the defendant and my attempts at seeking payment met with frustrating failure. In a matter of a couple of weeks you have recovered my money in full. Well done and thank you SO much - I can sleep tonight! I sincerely wish I had discovered your office earlier (fewer grey hairs!) Additionally I will happily recommend your services to anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances.

Vicki, Rochdale

When I first got in touch with the Sheriffs Office I was at my wits’ end with a situation with a customer. I am a small business and this represented a large amount of money to my cash flow and turnover. I have been in business for 30 years and have never found myself with this problem. I did not have any idea how to handle this or what to do to recover my payment. I wish to thank you all for the full support and understanding I have received from you. I telephoned you many times and you were never too busy to talk to me, or to explain the many questions I asked. Your attitude to me re the confidence you expressed that you would do all possible, has been a great comfort to me. I am delighted with your success in obtaining the amount of payment you have achieved. I have no hesitation in recommending you to my many business friends, and although I hope the need for your service will not arise again, I go away with the knowledge that I could contact you at any time.
