Some time ago we were asked to trace and serve documents on a "Mr. Smith" who had gone away and left substantial debts incurring interest at £3000+ per day.
We attended at various linked addresses and at one we met a little old lady who told us she knew him and had purchased the property from him. She informed us that he came back to the house two days after the sale and wanted an urn from the garden shed, which had his good friend's ashes in.
The friend's name was Mr. Beard and this prompted further investigation which led us to find out that the subject had taken on the identity of the deceased friend, Mr. Beard, and we subsequently traced him to a number of addresses in Spain. At one of these, we caught up with him, his true identity given away by the housekeeper, and he was served.
