Jacobs Client Open Day a Success

- Posted: 10/12/2006

Jacobs Certificated Bailiffs recently welcomed over 80 client delegates to its inaugural "Open Day" held at their modern head offices premises on Merseyside. 

Dave Cornes (Partner) explained "The main purpose of the sessions was to launch our "seemless" Bankruptcy Service which is available to our local authority clients.   Working in Partnership with the establish firms of DWF Solicitors and Horsfields Insolvency Practitioners we are able to coerce payment from the traditionally more difficult cases where distress has been ineffective."

"The response from clients has been very positive with several willing to progress this initiative during 2007.  One main advantage is that costs to the client are kept to a minimal and only payable after the petition is actually issued.   This gives the client financial certainty and also assurances in respect of budgetary purposes."

Clients were also given a tour of Jacobs Head Office and shown evidence of less than 2% abandonment rate during 2006 of its call centre operation.  Each session was completed with an explanation of the bailiff methodology used in maximising payments along with a demonstration of the "Digital Pens" used by bailiffs - the pens ensure immediate update of visits / action taken and costs raised via the Client Web on line facility.

Cornes concluded "Due to the huge success of the day we will be looking to do more Open Days for both Road Traffic and Local Taxation clients during 2007/2008."
