You could ask him if he'll work on a 'no win no fee' basis... if he declines then you can judge for yourself how good he is.

Jesus. The ukdebtcollector looks fun. Having employed collectors, bailiffs, and had bailiffs as tenants, all I can say is be careful.
You need someone who understands what you need and where you're coming from.
From what I see in your posts, I would go ccj then escalate immediately to high court. It is by far the cheapest route, most likely to succeed, and won't let your debtor affect / inform you're other customers of what a c**t you are.
High court enforcement officers are very good, much better than bailiffs. But if you're guy is very slimy then you may need a bailiff.

why? certificated Bailiffs or whatever they are called are only hard men when they think they can intimidate people ...

Have you done a credit check on the company to see if there are already CCJs against them? Also what is the state of their Balance Sheet, cash in bank, stock etc. Certainly in our experience it's very often can't pay as opposed to won't pay. A Thomas Higgins letter for a few pounds generally gives an idea to their intent.

Calling at their door isn't against the rules either.
