We act on behalf of various organisations in both the collection of Civil and High Court Enforcement orders.

Please note that we will continue enforcement until such time the court withdraws the Warrant or payment in full is made.

You need to seek your own legal advice or contact us on 01925 984020 for further information on the outstanding amount.

An Enforcement Agent’s role is to collect the full amount or to remove goods for sale at auction. They may be able to allow you some time to raise the funds. You are best arranging a convenient time for the Agent to revisit you to discuss your options.

Removing goods is the last resort, but if your debt has reached Removal / Sale Stage it is because you have either not contacted us to arrange repayments or because you have defaulted on agreed payments.

The Enforcement Agent in charge will always assess your circumstances to ensure there are no other suitable options before proceeding with a removal. Please speak to the Agent as a matter of urgency.
