At Shergroup, we understand that commercial debt recovery requires a different approach than residential enforcement. A recent case demonstrates how our enforcement agents’ professional expertise and decisive action can achieve immediate results, even when faced with obstruction tactics.
The Commercial Enforcement Challenge
Our enforcement team recently visited commercial premises in East London regarding an outstanding judgment debt. Upon arrival, our agent found staff members who claimed company directors were unavailable – a common delaying tactic we encounter in commercial enforcement.
What follows demonstrates why professional enforcement agents with proper training make all the difference in successful debt recovery.
Overcoming Obstruction Tactics
When our agent explained the legal authority granted under the writ, the individuals present became uncooperative and attempted to lower the shutters to prevent the enforcement action. Recognizing this obstruction attempt, our agent took immediate decisive action:
- Prevented the shutters from being fully closed
- Secured the premises by taking possession of the keys
- Clearly explained the consequences of continued non-payment
- Maintained a professional demeanor throughout the confrontation
This decisive approach led to a complete turnaround – after further discussion, the staff agreed to settle the outstanding amount in full through an immediate bank transfer.
Key Takeaways
- Proper training matters – Our agents know how to handle obstruction attempts legally and effectively
- Legal knowledge is essential – Understanding enforcement powers provides confidence in challenging situations
- Professional persistence pays off – By remaining firm but professional, our agent achieved full payment
- Commercial premises require specialized approaches – Different tactics are needed compared to residential enforcement
- Immediate results are possible – The right approach can secure full payment on the first visit
Action Plan for Creditors
If you are facing challenges with commercial debt recovery:
- Act quickly – Commercial debtors may attempt to shield or dispose of assets
- Choose specialized enforcement – Ensure your enforcement agent has commercial experience
- Provide detailed information – Companies House details and trading addresses improve success rates
- Be prepared for resistance – Commercial enforcement often faces initial opposition
- Trust the process – Professional enforcement can overcome obstruction tactics
