Creditors
and claimants who need to enforce a High Court Writ
can now instruct Shergroup in an online format for the
first time.
The new services - the first of their kind
in the HCEO enforcement sector - are available
at both www.sherforce.net
and www.sherbond.net
, ensuring a quick and straightforward way to
deliver money judgments or orders for possession to
Shergroup’s HCEOs in a highly secure environment.
Court fees are paid online where the client has access
to a credit card or debit card, or the instruction
form can just be filled in on-screen, printed off
and sent into Shergroup with a cheque made payable
to the original ‘SLC’.
While Shergroup’s origins date back as far
as the 18th century, was and it is known by those
in the legal profession of a certain age as Burchell
& Ruston, these new web-based services highlight
the company’s firm commitment to invest in 21st
century technology.
Shergroup Chief Executive, Claire Sandbrook, said:
“We wanted to make the instruction process as
easy as possible for our clients - no-one has
time to pull out all the paperwork, and even requesting
a cheque for the court fee is a chore if the fee can
be paid using the company credit card.
“Every day we measure how many transfers we
are receiving online, and the number is growing steadily.
Our clients love the new system because it is so straightforward,
which means we can act on their instructions far quicker
than for non-online clients.
“Of course,” she added, “we know
many companies have to raise cheques through their
accounts departments, so they can still pay by cheque
if that is more convenient for them.”
Mrs Sandbrook stressed that the online registration
systems have been installed with the highest possible
levels of security.
“We are dealing with very commercially sensitive
information, so we ensure we adhere to the data security
standards of ISO 27000:2001.”
Online registrations are important additions to the
company’s portfolio of innovative services,
which continues to develop its position as a provider
of a range of outsourced business services in the
security, outsourcing, legal and enforcement sectors.
