process serving and surv work

[jackdiamonte]

hi can some one explain the link between the two im finding it hard to get my head around this one, or is it just an additional way of keeping the pennies rolling in ? Is this what was meant by food on the table work? taking the good with the bad etc...

Hi Jackdiamonte

There is generally no link between the two, many Surveillance companies offer Process Serving as a sideline to their main area of work because they may have staff situated around different parts of the country which can be well placed to serve documents.

You will see that most, if not all Investigation agencies offering the service of Process Serving as they will have a good network of agents around the country to utilise.

is there a special licence required for this or can anyone do it ?

[Bradburys]

For someone to serve documents they are required to be registered with the Information of Commissioners office & be registered under the DPA. Other than this I don't believe there are any other legal requirements, however there are also various useful courses relating to this particular service.

If you haven't had a look already, the UK PSA are the UK Process servers association www.uk-psa.org


Take care

Generally speaking the two are linked when Surveillance is used, often alongside other investigation methods, to correctly identify the current location of the subject in order that process can be served. More often in connection with bankruptcy and freezing of funds etc... these days than more common process.

Process serving can often lead to or be preceeded by asst tracing and other investigation that may include elements of surveillance.
