A security company usually tailors its services to specific use-cases and scenarios. So, while manned guarding services refers to trained security personnel, something like eviction services is geared towards removing unauthorized occupation of your property. An eviction service though is different from void property security, which ensures the safety of your unoccupied property from squatters, burglars and vandals.

A good example of a specially-designed security service is close protection chauffeur. This service ensures you are safely transported from one place to another. But if you want this level of safety to be available 24×7, VIP security is a better choice. Both services are staffed with experts who are trained to spot security blind-spots and keep you safe from them. Security dog patrols and specialist search dogs are other examples of security services that have very specific use-cases.

What is a High Court Enforcement, and What Will Happen? 1. For the process to be initiated, a creditor or claimant must apply for a Writ of Control to a County Court, Tribunal or High Court. The order is registered with the Registry Trust and would remain in the register for six years. Banks and lenders search the registry before granting you a loan. This order tells the HCEO to visit you and request the payment of the debt.

2. A letter of notice will be given to you from the HCEO informing you that he or she will give you a call. The practice is that a seven-day notice will be provided.

3. After the seven-day notice is up, the HCEO visits your home and requests that you pay up your debt in full. If you cannot comply with this order, then they’ll confiscate your property. An HCEO may also visit your business property. In that case, they’ll confiscate your goods until you comply with the order.

4. The HCEO then makes a list of items that would be sold if you eventually don’t pay up. If you are lucky, they will let you keep your goods and allow you to pay the debt in installments. This is called a controlled goods agreement. However, if you break the agreement, they will come back and remove the goods.
