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: Court Summons served in Stone, Stafford
Challenge
A building contractor in Stafford had completed a house extension project worth £45,000 for a residential customer, but payment had stopped at the halfway point with £22,500 outstanding. The extension had been completed to building regulation standards and signed off by building control, but the customer was now claiming they were “unhappy” with various cosmetic aspects and refusing to pay the balance until these were “rectified.” The contractor attended multiple times to address concerns, but the customer kept identifying new issues in what appeared to be a deliberate strategy to avoid payment. After exhausting goodwill, the contractor filed a County Court claim for the outstanding £22,500 and needed to serve court summons on the customer. The customer had recently moved from their Stafford address (the property where the extension work was completed) to a new house in Stone, a town northwest of Stafford near the Trent and Mersey Canal, and was refusing to provide their new address or respond to correspondence. Through investigation, the contractor discovered the new Stone address but previous attempts to serve the summons there had failed because the customer was now extremely wary of anyone approaching their property and simply wouldn’t answer the door. The contractor needed personal service to progress their court claim before limitation periods became an issue.
Action
iSpy Detectives conducted comprehensive investigation and surveillance to serve someone who had moved addresses specifically to avoid service and was hypervigilant about approaches to their new property. Our team monitored the Stone address over ten days, confirming the customer was residing there and documenting their patterns. We discovered they were working at an office in Stafford town centre and regularly attended a gym near their Stone home on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
On a planned Thursday evening, our process server positioned at the gym car park and successfully identified the customer arriving at 6:35pm. Our operative approached them as they walked from their car towards the gym entrance, introducing themselves and serving the court summons before they could retreat to their vehicle or enter the gym.
Despite the customer’s immediate anger and claims that being approached at the gym was “stalking,” our server remained professionally firm, explaining that service of court documents was entirely lawful, that they had made normal service impossible by refusing to engage, and that they were now formally notified of the £22,500 County Court claim with 14 days to respond. The summons was explained thoroughly with emphasis on the building control sign-off evidence. Body-worn camera footage documented the service and the customer’s acknowledgement, and we provided comprehensive evidence for the contractor’s court file.
Result
The court summons was served successfully despite the customer’s change of address and continued avoidance tactics. Following service, the customer filed a defence listing numerous alleged defects, but they failed to obtain any expert evidence supporting their claims despite being ordered to do so by the court. At the hearing, the contractor’s photographic evidence, building control certificates, and documentation of their multiple attempts to address concerns proved decisive. The judge found entirely in favour of the contractor, awarding the full £22,500 plus costs and noting that the customer’s conduct appeared designed to avoid payment rather than address genuine concerns.
The customer was ordered to pay, and enforcement proceedings secured recovery through a charging order on their Stone property. Our client expressed relief that months of frustration dealing with a customer exploiting the construction process had finally been resolved through the court system, and they praised our investigative work in locating the new address and achieving service when the customer had believed moving house would defeat the claim.
