What is a Process Server?
A process server legally delivers court documents to individuals involved in legal proceedings. Since the law requires in-person notification of court actions rather than electronic or phone communication, process servers play a vital role in the legal system.

Case Study: Non-Molestation Order served in Laindon, Basildon
Challenge
A woman in Basildon had experienced a brief relationship with a man she met through a dating app, but when she ended the relationship after six weeks due to his possessive behaviour, his response was extreme and frightening.
Over the following two months, he conducted a campaign of harassment that escalated from constant phone calls and texts to more sinister behaviour. He created fake social media profiles to send abusive messages when she blocked his real accounts, posted intimate photos of her online without consent, contacted her employer with false allegations about her professional conduct, and began appearing near her home and workplace at random times.
Most disturbingly, he sent gifts and flowers to her house with cards containing implicit threats about “not being able to escape him.” The woman, who lived in the Laindon area near the Basildon town boundary, felt like she was being watched constantly and was experiencing severe anxiety. With support from a domestic abuse charity, she obtained an emergency non-molestation order prohibiting all contact and requiring him to stay away from her home, workplace, and frequented locations.
However, serving the order was complicated by the fact that he had given her a false address during their brief relationship — he didn’t live where he claimed, and she had no accurate information about his actual whereabouts. Without his real address or full details, locating him to serve the order seemed almost impossible.
Action
iSpy Detectives deployed specialist skip-tracing techniques to locate this deceptive individual who had deliberately concealed his true identity and location. Our investigation team began with the minimal information available—his first name, approximate age, his vehicle registration (which the victim had noted), and his mobile phone number.
Through DVLA records, we identified his vehicle’s registered keeper address in Wickford, a town neighbouring Basildon. Surveillance confirmed this was his actual residence. We also examined his digital footprint, discovering his real social media profiles (distinct from the fake ones he’d created to harass the victim) under his actual full name.
Over four days of observation, our team established his routines, including regular attendance at a gym in Wickford town centre. On the fifth day, our process server successfully identified and approached him as he left the gym at 6:45pm. The service was executed in the busy gym car park with numerous witnesses present for safety. Despite his shock at being located — he had clearly believed his false identity would protect him from consequences — our operative confirmed his identity through multiple data points and served the non-molestation order clearly and firmly. The explanation emphasised that breaching the order would result in immediate arrest and that his deceptive behaviour had been fully uncovered.
Body-worn camera footage documented the service and his acknowledgement. We immediately notified Essex Police, who conducted a formal warning visit to his Wickford home that evening, reinforcing the seriousness of the order and making clear that his anonymity was gone.
Result
The non-molestation order was served successfully despite the perpetrator’s deliberate deception about his identity and location. Our investigative work had not only enabled service but had also uncovered his real details, allowing police to have accurate records for enforcement purposes. Following service and the police warning, all harassment ceased immediately. The social media abuse stopped, no further gifts or appearances occurred, and the victim reported feeling able to breathe for the first time in months. The online intimate images were removed (with police and platform cooperation), and the false allegations to her employer were retracted under threat of defamation action.
Twelve months later, there had been zero breaches of the order. The victim rebuilt her confidence and was able to move forward with her life. She expressed profound gratitude for our investigative work, noting that without our ability to locate him, she would have remained trapped in a nightmare with no legal protection. The domestic abuse charity that supported her praised our skip-tracing capabilities and our commitment to serving justice even when subjects deliberately hide.
