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: Bankruptcy Petition served in Milnrow, Rochdale
Challenge
A specialist equipment supplier based in Leeds was owed £54,000 by a former customer in Rochdale who had purchased machinery for a manufacturing business that subsequently failed. The customer had signed a personal guarantee for the equipment finance, but when the business collapsed, he had made no attempt to honour this commitment despite having clear legal obligations. The supplier obtained judgment and, when payment was not forthcoming, filed a bankruptcy petition to recover funds through the formal insolvency process.
The debtor had moved from his business premises in Rochdale town centre to a residential property in Milnrow, a village on the edge of the Pennine hills just outside Rochdale, and was attempting to restart his career whilst avoiding his previous business debts. However, serving the bankruptcy petition was proving extremely challenging. The debtor worked irregular hours as a shift supervisor at a local factory and had no consistent pattern that would make service straightforward. His Milnrow home was in a terraced street with no parking directly outside, meaning process servers couldn’t conduct discreet surveillance without being obvious to neighbours.
Previous attempts at service had failed because he had been alerted to the presence of process servers by vigilant neighbours, and he had learned to simply not answer the door when suspicious callers attended. The creditor’s solicitors needed a fresh approach to achieve service before the bankruptcy hearing deadline.
Action
iSpy Detectives employed advanced surveillance techniques and local intelligence gathering to overcome neighbourhood vigilance and the debtor’s irregular patterns. Our team conducted research into his employment, discovering he worked at a textiles factory in Rochdale and typically worked rotating shifts. We obtained his shift pattern through discreet enquiries with the factory’s HR department (using a legitimate pretext that didn’t reveal our purpose). This intelligence revealed he was working a night shift pattern that week, leaving his Milnrow home around 9:30pm and returning around 7:30am.
On a planned morning, our process server positioned away from his immediate street to avoid alerting neighbours, then approached his property at 7:45am as he returned from his night shift. Our operative intercepted him as he walked from his car to his front door, tired from a night’s work and less vigilant than he would have been during daytime hours.
The bankruptcy petition was served quickly and efficiently before he could enter his house and close the door. Despite his protests that this was an “ungodly hour” to be serving papers and claims he was too tired to deal with it, our server explained that the bankruptcy petition had been validly served regardless of the time of day, that the court proceedings would continue, and that he needed to take urgent legal advice about the serious consequences he faced. Body-worn camera footage documented the service, and we provided comprehensive evidence including the shift pattern intelligence that had enabled us to identify the optimal service window.
Result
The bankruptcy petition was served successfully through careful investigation of the debtor’s work patterns and tactical timing to catch him at a moment of reduced vigilance. Following service, he initially maintained his pattern of ignoring the debt, but when he failed to appear at the bankruptcy hearing, a bankruptcy order was made against him.
The Official Receiver took control of his affairs and began investigating his assets and income. The bankruptcy process revealed he had been earning reasonable income at the factory but had been prioritising current living expenses over addressing the outstanding debt. Facing the reality of bankruptcy restrictions, he negotiated an Income Payments Agreement with the Official Receiver to contribute towards the debt over time. The creditor recovered a portion of the debt through the bankruptcy estate and ongoing income contributions.
Our client commended our investigative approach in obtaining employment intelligence and our tactical timing in serving someone who had successfully avoided previous service attempts, noting that our detailed understanding of his work patterns had been the key to success.
