Dear Sheriffs and team, thank you so much for recovering the pay I was owed – it was such a speedy, convenient service when I’d thought I might not get my money back!

We thank you for the cheque, we are highly delighted you have got this for us, thank you for all your hard work, and determination. We can only praise your efforts in relation to this case. With us being OAPs you can imagine the stress and financial side of things, has been a very big factor with us. We will not hesitate to use you again. We didn't know about you, until we saw you on TV.

The standard of entries this year was particularly high. It was not an easy task for the judges to decide on the three finalists, let alone the winner. After much deliberation however, the winner was chosen as they went above and beyond that of a simple enforcement organisation, for the benefit of their clients, the debtors, and the general public.

Just a quick note to say thank you so much for collecting the debt owed to us. From our initial phone call, through to the help of Alex in the office, through to the successful conclusion, you’ve been brilliant. We’re currently pursuing two other bad debts – one small claims and one High Court, should we have any problems at all obtaining payment, we’ll be in touch.

As a solicitor specialising in commercial litigation, I know that winning a case is not enough. Enforcing payment is essential. The success of The Sheriffs Office in doing so is an essential part of my armoury..

Just a note of sincere thanks for a job well done and appreciated. We spent some time getting the run-around by the county courts bailiffs which (without malice) were not helpful at all. As no doubt they all say, “ they were wrong and they owed it to us, he cheated me etc etc,” However for what it is worth on this occasion it was justified and a matter of principle as the amount clearly shows, and I will without doubt forward and be happy to promote your company to friends etc. Please thank the officers on our behalf also.

My firm had instructed the Sheriff's Office to execute a writ of possession of a large 6 bedroom house in London which had around 20 occupants. Before we had arrived we received a call from the Sheriff's informing us that the occupants were removing fixtures and fittings from the property, we instructed them to execute the writ before we had arrived and to call the Police to report the theft. Upon arrival we discovered that the tenants had removed fitted wardrobes, air-conditioning units, boilers, radiators, bathrooms, a large sky-light, it really was a case of 'everything including the kitchen sink'. It was certainly the most audacious attempt at stripping a property bare that I have ever seen in over 15 years. The agents were magnificent: they blocked the road so that these items which had been placed into removal vans could not leave and secured the property within minutes. The agents liaised with the local constabulary, the occupiers, local residents and they were exemplary all round. Most importantly they put the clients at ease and began the difficult task of arranging for all of the removed items which were in vans and on the street to be taken back into the property. I without hesitation recommend The Sheriff's Office for such work, truly great professionals who got their job done.

Thanks very much for the update. I commend you for your wonderful work. I really appreciate how you helped me recover my money. I wish I had known you sooner. It will be great if others can also benefit from your professional and most effective service.

I write to express my gratitude and thanks for the excellent service that was undertaken by your staff, both in the paperwork and information, and the speed of the recovery from your field officers. I had just about written off the debt and am very pleased that I forwarded my instruction to your company instead – I just wish I could have seen Mr E’s face parting with his money as he has a reputation of not paying anyone! I will have no hesitation in instructing you on any further assignments or to recommend your services to others.

In the past, our company has written off bad debts as many of our customers are transient and reside in the UK less than 2 years. The Sheriffs Office have been fantastic at recovering outstanding monies. In particular, we had judgement obtained for almost two years with no likelihood of receiving payment. On the day the Sheriffs paid the defendant a visit we received a call from the defendant wanting to negotiate. By that afternoon the Sheriffs had obtained substantial payment, a signed walking possession order and the balance in full within two days. I highly recommend that you use The Sheriffs Office to enforce judgment. This is by far the most effective way to recover bad debt when all powers of negotiation have failed; you have been through the courts, obtained judgement and are still being frustrated by a reluctant debtor.

On the successful removal of travellers from a community centre: Well done and many congratulations. I would be most grateful if, on my behalf, you'd thank all who helped resolve this problem.

Got your cheque today for full settlement. Wonderful service, saw your programme on TV but never believed your service could be that good. Well it is and I am so impressed. With many thanks.
