How to Get a Statutory Demand Served by a Process Server in Leeds
A Statutory Demand can be used by a creditor to formally demand payment of a debt from an individual or company. Once you have prepared the appropriate Statutory Demand, instructing a Process Server to arrange service is straightforward.
1. Prepare the Statutory Demand
Complete the appropriate Statutory Demand for the individual or company concerned. The relevant forms and guidance are available from GOV.UK. It is important to ensure that you are using the correct form and that the demand has been completed correctly.
2. Send the Statutory Demand to us
Send us the completed Statutory Demand together with the address for service and any information you have that may assist us in identifying or locating the debtor.
3. We arrange service
We will arrange for a Process Server to attend and serve the Statutory Demand in accordance with your instructions. Once completed, we will provide appropriate Proof of Service detailing how and when service was effected.
Should I use a Statutory Demand?
A Statutory Demand can be an important step where money is owed, but it should not simply be treated as an alternative method of debt collection. Insolvency proceedings can have serious consequences and there are specific requirements governing their use.
You do not need to instruct a solicitor simply to instruct us to serve your Statutory Demand. However, we cannot advise you whether a Statutory Demand is appropriate for your circumstances or whether the debt meets the relevant legal requirements. If you are unsure, you should obtain independent legal advice before issuing the demand.
PB Process Servers UK Ltd has been serving legal documents since 2002. We provide a professional, fixed-fee Statutory Demand service throughout Leeds and across England and Wales, with Proof of Service provided on completion.
How to Serve a Statutory Demand on a Company in Leeds
If you need to serve a Statutory Demand on a company in Leeds, our Process Servers can arrange prompt and professional service at the company's Registered Office or other appropriate address.
For a company debt, the appropriate Statutory Demand should be completed before you instruct us. Statutory Demands are generally used in relation to undisputed debts that meet the applicable insolvency threshold. If you are uncertain whether a Statutory Demand is appropriate, you should obtain independent legal advice before proceeding.
Serving the Company's Registered Office
We will usually be instructed to attend the company's Registered Office. In Leeds this can range from the company's own premises to serviced offices, shared buildings and professional Registered Office providers.
Where possible, we will identify ourselves and attempt to bring the Statutory Demand to the attention of an appropriate person at the address. The precise method of service will depend upon the circumstances we encounter and the instructions provided.
Where access is restricted or nobody is available to accept the documents, our Process Server will record what happened during the attendance and take appropriate steps in accordance with the instructions for service.
Evidence of Service
Following service, we will provide appropriate Proof of Service recording when, where and how the Statutory Demand was served. Where personal service cannot be achieved, we can also provide evidence of the attempts and enquiries made where required.
Our Leeds Process Servers regularly attend Registered Offices, business premises and commercial addresses throughout Leeds and the surrounding areas.
How to Serve a Statutory Demand on a Private Individual in Leeds
When serving a Statutory Demand on a private individual in Leeds, every reasonable effort should be made to bring the demand to the debtor's attention. Wherever possible, personal service is preferred, with the Statutory Demand handed directly to the individual.
Our Leeds Process Servers can attend residential addresses, places of work and other known locations to attempt personal service. Where necessary, our fixed-fee service includes up to three attendances, which can be made on different days and at different times to improve the prospects of successful service.
What if the Debtor Avoids Service?
Not everyone wants to be found. Where there is evidence that an individual resides at an address but does not answer the door or appears to be avoiding service, we will record the circumstances of each attendance and any relevant enquiries made.
Where appropriate, further steps can be taken to bring the Statutory Demand to the debtor's attention. This may include sending a letter of appointment giving the debtor an opportunity to arrange personal service before considering an alternative method of service.
If personal service cannot be achieved, it may be possible in appropriate circumstances to effect substituted service. The method used will depend upon the circumstances and applicable rules, and you should obtain legal advice if you are uncertain whether substituted service can be relied upon.
Proof of Service
Once the Statutory Demand has been served, we will provide appropriate Proof of Service recording the date, location and method of service.
If personal service cannot be completed, we can provide a Statement of Attempted Service detailing the attendances and efforts made to bring the Statutory Demand to the debtor's attention.
