Each 60 minute episode follows the work of High Court Enforcement Officers, known since Saxon times as Sheriffs Officers, as they travel across the country attempting to recover court judgments on behalf of their clients.
These clients include individuals, like Lucy left with third degree burns, as well as businesses and their solicitors who have won court judgments, but have still not been paid.
After transferring their judgments to the High Court for enforcement, they've turned to Croydon-based firm "The Sheriffs Office", to get them their money back under the writ that authorises them to seize goods. The only way the debtor can stop them is to pay what they owe.
As they battle against sieges, barricades and debtors who will do all they can to avoid paying what a judge says they owe, find out if The Sheriffs Office can help people in their hour of need.
