SRJ debt collectors as a debt purchaser will have paid a few pence in the pound for your debt. They then seek to recover their outlay as quickly as possible by placing pressure on a debtor to repay as soon as possible.

One tactic which they use is to serve a statutory demand upon a debtor. They do this by serving the demand by post on the debtor.

It is imperative not to ignore a statutory demand. You have only 18 days to apply to set aside the demand, and after 21 days the demand can be followed by a bankruptcy petition.

Ordinarily a demand should be personally served. It is my personal belief that the demand is being used as a debt collection tactic and not for bankruptcy purposes as the demands that I have come across have only been served by post and so couldn't really be relied upon to base a bankruptcy petition. However, it should never be assumed that a demand will not be followed by a petition.

I deal with these demands by placing an onus on the creditor to prove that they have all the paperwork they need to prove the debt in full. I have many successes in getting companies who serve statutory demands to confirm that they will not take any action on them after receiving letters and requests from me.

If you have been served with a statutory demand I can help you deal with it. Do not delay. Call me now!
