When Shergroup’s Enforcement Officers are unable to gain access to a debtor’s house a Warning Notice is often left.
The aim is to provoke the debtor into making contact with the officer and this picture shows the notice being posted through the front door of a debtor who wouldn’t open the door.
Claire Sandbrook, CEO of Shergroup, said: “On this occasion, cars were parked outside, which were seized and the vehicle registration numbers sent to the DVLA to be checked. One was revealed to be registered to the judgment debtor, but it was on finance.
“We rang the finance company to seek their agreement to allow us to remove and sell the vehicle to release the debtor's interest in any available equity.
“But despite the willingness of the finance company to talk the outstanding balance on the finance agreement was £5,000 but the vehicle was only valued at £3,000.”
It was agreed the car should be left and the next option was to try to enter the property with the debtor's agreement.
She added: “Our Enforcement Officer left the Warning Notice and although the debtor didn't come to the door and invite us in, he did call them the next day and offered to pay £350 a month on a debt valued at just over £3,000.
“It’s not the ideal result, but better than nothing and bearing in mind there were no other available goods and we couldn't gain entry to the property our client was pleased with the result.”
