As an FCA authorised agency, Vilcol frequently works with banks and building societies to help trace missing individuals and debtors. One of the most common cases we receive is building societies who need to find an updated customer address for those receiving pensions. 

We were recently contacted by a solicitor in the UK who needed our tracing agents help to track down a long lost relative in a probate case. This is a case we see very often at Vilcol, as people may be included in a will, or have a claim to the will, and need to be contacted before the will can be processed correctly. 

At Vilcol, we understand the delicate nature of suspicions and the importance of clarity in matters of the heart. We take all of your concerns seriously, and strive to provide you with legally and efficiently obtained answers. 

In recent months, we have been inundated with requests for our identity verification service. Most of the enquiries have been for an ID check on an individual they are romantically involved with in some form or another. We are seeing a rapid increase in people falling victim to catfishing, love bombing, romance blackmail, pro daters, online intimate activity, and inheritance romance scams. In some instances, the check is made too late, with the client already having  or, even worse, having been ‘fleeced’ with their life savings. 

A statutory demand is a written warning from a creditor. It will state that if a person owing debt doesn't pay their debt or come to another arrangement that is acceptable to the creditor, the creditor can apply to start court proceedings to bankrupt their debtor. 

Once the debtor has been served with the statutory demand, they have 21 days to pay their debt in full or come up with an acceptable arrangement.

Divorce is always a difficult process, even when separations are amicable. Vilcol is often called upon to serve divorce papers by family law lawyers to ensure the process can be concluded in an efficient manner. Combining our people tracing and process serving experience has come in handy on multiple occasions. We have had experiences where the spouse being served had disappeared, likely because they were unwilling to receive their divorce papers and wanted to evade being served. On occasions, we have had to hunt people down at some interesting locations, including their country club, their workplace, their new partner’s address, their favourite pub, and even their habitual morning coffee shops, to serve them the papers they have otherwise avoided being served.
