Statutory Demand FAQs

Common questions regarding statutory demand serving across the West Midlands.

What happens if the debtor refuses to take the paper?

Under English law, if a process server tells the debtor what the document is and leaves it in their presence (e.g. at their feet or on a desk if they refuse to touch it), valid personal service has been effected. This will be fully documented in the sworn statement.

How many attempts are made?

Our standard instruction includes up to 3 separate physical visits to the address at different times and days of the week.

Can you serve statutory demands urgently?

Yes. We offer same-day emergency attendance for urgent insolvency matters across Birmingham, Walsall, Wolverhampton, Solihull, and Coventry.
