Case Study - St Helens

Case Study

EJM Investigations received instruction from a solicitor based in St Helens to carry out a process serve in the local area. The instruction was to serve a statutory demand on an individual following her failure to pay an amount owing under a court judgement from the county court. Initially there were a number of issues catching up with the respondent. Our process server made enquiries with the neighbours, but unfortunately it appeared the respondent was rarely home so it was just a case of keep trying. (Note that it is acceptable to letterbox the demand following delivery of an appointment letter, but in this situation the client was keen on personal service, and agreed to pay more for this).

When our process server eventually caught up with the respondent it transpired she was a very pleasant person, and was happy to provide contact details for future serves. As is normal with Statutory demands, the debt wasn’t sorted and a bankruptcy petition was issued. This was served in one visit thanks to the cooperation of the respondent.

Case Study 2 - St Helens

Case Study

We were approached by a private client from the Merseyside area. He had been ripped off by a lady who had then left the known address. He had instructed another firm of investigators to trace the lady in question and had received 3 possible addresses. One in Knowsley, and 2 in Saint Helens. Despite his attendances any knowledge of the subject was denied at the addresses in question. As the other firm didn’t provide surveillance, the client came to us to carry out a period of observations at each address to establish if the subject visited. We did advise allowing us to try a no trace, no fee search, but he was keen to move quickly and opted for surveillance. Unsurprisingly it was quickly established the subject didn’t reside at any of the addresses.

We then carried out our own trace, and whilst none of the other addresses came up, a new one in Haydock did. A quick late night visit by our private detective showed the subjects car on the property’s driveway. A mornings surveillance established a workplace for the subject and the client was able to start proceedings to recover his money.


The client did mention to the other investigators about our findings, and was refunded, as well as receiving an explanation that the subject had links to the other addresses from some false identities she used. Nothing in our enquiry supported this.

It is impossible to write an exhaustive list of all the reasons people approach EJM Investigations. But when it comes to instructing a private detective or process server EJM Investigations are always worth a call. A friendly, listening ear is always available to talk through your problems, and see if there is a private investigation service within our skill set to find a solution to your problems.
