We frequently serve papers the same day as instructed! If you have a urgent service contact us before instructing us so we can confirm our availability, the cost of service and how to instruct us. You can obtain a Quick Quote here.
Yes, we may be able to arrange for collection of the papers from you. Bear in mind there would be an additional charge for doing so.
We provide a nationwide process serving, covering almost every village, town and city in the UK.
We provide fixed fee process serving across most of the Country. We offer standard and priority service fees. We love to be transparent. It is quick and easy to get a fee estimate from us so you can make sure you are happy with our fees and charges you before instructing us.
Our Process Servers will make up to three visits when serving papers to private individuals. Visits are made at varying times of day. If we have made three visits without serving the papers we will contact you to discuss the case before proceeding further. You wont incur an additional fee unless you instruct further.
If we are serving limited companies, we usually serve these on one visit.
For Solicitors, Councils and Government Departments, we shall issue an invoice once the job has been completed. We may raise interim invoices on cases that are ongoing.
For all Private Clients, unless otherwise agreed, we will issue our invoice when you instruct us. Once payment is received from you, we will attend to serve the papers.
We attend at vary times times, depending on the subject we are trying to serve. This can include visits outside normal business hours and sometimes at weekends.
No, it's impossible for us to guarantee papers will be served. A subject may have moved or be evasive. If the subject is evasive then we will normally prepare an affidavit or statement of attempted service that can support an application for substituted service. Transparency matters - any Process Server that says they guarantee service, is not telling you the truth!
You will need to send us the paperwork that needs to be served. We've been serving court papers for over 25 years. We have streamlined our service making it very easy to instruct us. Follow this link for information on how to instruct us.
Yes, once the court papers are served, we will provide you with court complaint evidence of service. What you receive will depend on what documents we are serving for you but it will be in the form of an affidavit of service, statement of service, a certificate of service or witness statement.
Yes, we could attempt service at almost any address you have. An individual can be served at any address they can be found at including at work. Even if the Court papers have your subjects previous address on, we can still attempt service at an alternative address.
No. You will always incur a fee for us attempting service. No Process Server should charge for successful service only - The reason behind this is someone may be more inclined to say they served someone, when they can only charge for a successful service - There is case law on this subject.
It depends on what we are serving. Some papers can be served by leaving them at the address, whereas others require personal service. We will serve the papers as required.
We regularly encounter individuals who are evasive or difficult to locate. In these situations, we are often required to make multiple attempts at personal service, which may also include issuing letters of appointment where appropriate. If personal service is ultimately unsuccessful, we would usually prepare a Statement of Attempted Service. This document can then be used to support an application for substituted service which, if approved by the court, may permit service by alternative methods such as posting the documents through a letterbox. We appreciate that this process can sometimes be frustrating for clients, however we will do everything we can to assist and you throughout.
No, we are only dealing with service of the papers. This means we deliver "Serve" the papers for you. You must issue the papers yourself and then send us the paperwork for service. We do not sign papers on behalf of clients. We cannot provide legal advice. If you are unsure how to proceed, then you should seek legal advice from a Solicitor, or someone else who is legally qualified to advise you.
Yes, we can usually attend and serve papers at a Registered Office. A company is legally required to maintain an appropriate registered office address at all times under the Companies Act 2006.
Often, we find it is an Accountant acting as the Registered Office. Occasionally, a registered office appears vacant or ineffective for service, but we will usually still serve a copy of the papers here so we can confirm this has taken place but, it is prudent to explore what else can be done - such as serving a Director for example. Occasionally, we are asked to serve papers at the default address assigned to the company at Companies House.
If you are unsure how to proceed, then you should seek legal advice from a Solicitor, or someone else who is legally qualified to advise you.
