A Field Call is a personal visit by one of our agents to the given address of a subject. On such visits, our instructions may be to simply establish contact with, or confirm the residency of a person, or supply a photograph of his home. The field call may also be made to re-establish contact with a subject for a client and to make a comprehensive statement of the subject’s affairs.

Field calls are an often underutilised tool available to our clients. They can be very cost effective, whether by achieving certain results without proceeding to more expensive legal options, or simply by using the results to determine the likelihood of success through legal action.

It is often the case, particularly with monies owing, that communication has broken down between the creditor and the debtor. An agent can re-establish communications between the creditor and the debtor, by acting as an intermediary in the process.

Field calls are certainly not limited to matters relating to debt, although this is the main area in which this action is used. The field call may also update files on employment, contact telephone numbers, photographing the exterior of homes, and properties may also give a guide to the living standards of the occupant.

The cost of a field call varies and depends on a number of factors, in the locality of the address, and what is actually required from the field call, but normally is the same price as the service of a document in the same location.
