GUEST BLOG: “Using Surmount’s Harassment Support Service”

This week, in a change of pace, we’re handing our blog over to one of our recent clients on a Harassment case in Newcastle Upon Tyne to talk through her experience of working with us to bring her distress to an end and hopefully help other people out there who might be in a similar position.

Effective Insurance Fraud Investigations

Effective Insurance Fraud Investigations

Probably one of the biggest misconceptions about the world of “investigation” is the whole thing of there always being that ‘smoking gun’ that the investigator finds right there at the scene, just being dropped at that exact moment by the guilty party… Job’s a good ‘un – we’re all heading home for an early finish on a Friday afternoon!

The reality is decidedly less glamorous and actually much more arduous. Take a recent case we worked on in the matter of a high value insurance fraud. Read more about Effective Insurance Fraud Investigations

Pre-Repossession Reports

Pre-Repossession Reports

We now offer comprehensive pre-repossession reports to solicitors and lenders throughout the North-East.

Pre-repossession reports (also known as ‘pre-eviction reports’ or ‘address intelligence reports [AIRs]’) are an excellent and invaluable means for repossessions and evictions to go as smoothly as possible without any sudden or ‘surprise’ elements of intelligence rearing their heads, resulting in the process being derailed and thus requiring rescheduling.

Private Investigator, Newcastle smashes first year!

Private Investigator, Newcastle smashes first year!

As we draw near to the close of our first year being fully operational, we wanted to take a quick second to look back on what we’ve achieved as a security consultant and private investigator in Newcastle.

We came out of the gate into this specific area of business, knowing that the private investigation trade had a terrible reputation (done no particular favours by how it’s presented in television and film, no less) but we knew we had a certain ethic and specific skill-set to separate ourselves from the ‘gumtree gumshoes’ out there and to make a real difference.

So we set a few goals to focus ourselves: Read more about Private Investigator, Newcastle smashes first year!

Taking The Long Way Home: A Closer Look At ‘Asset Protection’.

Taking The Long Way Home: A Closer Look At ‘Asset Protection’.

As part of our ‘Asset Protection Service’ we have hand-delivered high value jewellery from Newcastle to Essex, we’ve personally delivered heirlooms from the estates of the recently deceased to the homes of their next of kin, couriered important and time-sensitive confidential paperwork and, on one occasion, even a human being.

Our client had gone through an extremely bitter divorce with her ex-husband. She had been awarded sole custody of their children much to his annoyance and she was constantly living in fear that he was going to return to the North East and try and snatch her children.

“I Think My Partner Is Cheating On Me!”

“I Think My Partner Is Cheating On Me!”

A client came to us concerned about the behaviour of his long-term partner and the mother of his children. They had been together for over fifteen years, had a home together but things had felt ‘off’ for a while.

Their sex life had decreased, she claimed to have received a promotion from work that meant she had to do longer hours now and she only ever seemed to use her work phone of an evening which was ‘fingerprint-locked’ and always vibrating causing her to get up and leave the room when it did.

He had grown suspicious that there was someone else in her life. He had tried and failed to carry out his own enquiries but each time he said his partner would catch him out, accuse him of being “too possessive” and said his “paranoia was driving [her] away”. He engaged our services and told us he just ‘had’ to know once and for all if there was anything to his worries. Read more about “I Think My Partner Is Cheating On Me!”
