Collecting money is difficult these days. My client issued a simple debt claim but this was met with a defence which though not frivolous and vexatious was bordering on it and unlikely to succeed. We decided to make an application for summary judgment which was contested all the way to a hearing where the Defendant then without notice to us consented to Judgment but then sought leave to make application to pay the Judgment by instalments. The Court granted leave but subject to formal application setting out the grounds for the application. No application to pay by instalments was made. To enforce Judgment my client chose the services of The Sheriffs Office and to transfer up the judgment debt to the High Court. The Sheriffs Office process for transfer up is easy and the court fee not substantial. They kept us informed all the way. The Officer attended to enforce and the Defendant even then misrepresented the position to him stating that payment had been made in part to the client with an instalment plan. The Sheriffs Office requested verification and we confirmed no such thing had been agreed. The next communication from The Sheriffs Office the same day was that payment had been made in the full sum of the judgment. My client and I were delighted. A seemingly tortuous journey to judgment was ended quickly and efficiently to the satisfaction of all save the Debtor. Well done The Sheriffs Office. I will have no hesitation in using The Sheriffs Office again.

Dear Sheriffs, just a quick thank you for your excellent work in getting the money owed to me by Mrs H. After nearly six and a half years of chasing her for my money I had all but given up hope of ever seeing it again, but thanks to you I have now heard those wonderful words "paid in full", once again thank you so much.

Just a quick email to thank you for recovery of the outstanding debt from my previous employer. I am so pleased to be able to finally close what has been a very stressful situation. Keep up the good work!

I have just received your email regarding my claim, and want to say a big thank you to you all for all you have done, my wife and I have been fighting this case for three years, thanks to you we eventually have justice. Its my wife's birthday today and she is over the moon, you have certainly made our day, A great big THANK YOU to all at The Sheriffs Office.

Enforcing a residential eviction had proved to be a slow nightmare via the County Court and having been told there was a wait of at least 3 months to get their bailiffs to even visit I was facing yet more frustration when the tenant refused to accept the possession order. I stumbled on the section 42 variation process purely by chance and found the most comprehensive amount of information on the Sheriffs Office website. On speaking to them they explained the procedure very clearly and guided me through the whole process. From initial phone call to final eviction of the dreadful tenant took a mere 9 days including the court time and consequently saved me a huge amount of money in the long run. Gerard and his team could not have been more helpful or acted in a more professional manner and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody in a similar situation.

We would like to say a big thank you to your office, having received the final cheque in settlement of the above claim. Having lost all faith in the court system, I am so pleased we contacted you. This means we can now get our car put right and we can now end the year, putting all of this stress behind us. May we thank you once again for all of your hard work and effort in helping us.

Great job guys, feels great to have my property back. I'm sorry the psycho pulled a knife on your guys but they dealt with it brilliantly! Although she has threatened to break back in I think that was probably (hopefully!) just bluster! Thanks again.

I am so grateful. Since I've been a widow I have found that it’s difficult to get fair help and advice, your company has been brilliant. I would never have known except for the TV programmes despite having instructed a solicitor to work on my behalf and having spent hundreds of pounds doing so, and not really being able to afford it. I think your company is amazing. Thank you.

Hi, would just like to say a massive thank you to all for recovering the funds which were owed to my dad's company! I can't thank you enough as it was starting to effect his health due to stress and court visits over the last two years! Many thanks again I would not hesitate to use you again if required. Also could you say a personal thank you to Melissa for getting us in contact with yourselves.

I thank you very much for your great effort, you are the only ones who gave me any news. This is great news after such a long time, when no one could help me, not even the court. I am so glad that I watched your program on TV BBC , and that is how I found out about the Sheriffs office. Thank you very much.

Great job and in our opinion you have done the unbelievable. In 30 plus years of working in the robotics and automation industry, this is the only time we have ever heard of anyone being able to access contracting companies within a car-plant and this is a lesson to those who in the past, have been able to hide behind the factory gates with impunity.

Just to say thank you very much for your excellent service in collecting this debt. I will definitely be calling on your services again in the future when we next have a situation like this. Many thanks.
