The sheriffs are subjected to a barrage of abuse at a car dealership called Motor Arena.

The sheriffs are subjected to a barrage of abuse at a car dealership called Motor Arena. In Peckham, a cosmetics retailer is forced to shut up shop unless its debt is paid.

Teenager Holly Woodhall worked every weekend in a garden centre for three years to save up to buy her first car. She eventually bought a Fiat 500 for £4,700 from a dealership called Motor Arena, only to discover it wasn't roadworthy and needed costly repairs. After being refused a refund, her family took the company to court. When enforcement agents Ben Dirom and Myles Whitworth visit Motor Arena to get Holly's money, they face a hostile reception. Later, when they return with another writ for a different claimant, they are subjected to barrage of abuse. 

Enforcement agents Luke Peacock and Grant Bailey are in Peckham, where they are tasked with visiting a cosmetic retailer with a debt to pay. Sherry's Beauty Ltd has been taken to court by one of its suppliers and owes more than £14,000. The company director begs for more time, but when he doesn't come good on his word, the sheriffs prepare to lock up his shop and hold an on-site auction. Will the boss be able to come up with the money before it's too late?

In Birmingham, The Plating Group Ltd owes money after letting down a client. Interior designer Perry Mills paid the firm to gold-plate some office furnishings for his latest project. But when the work was delayed and the quality sub-standard, he had to hire another company to carry out the work again. He successfully took The Plating Group to court to cover his losses, but the judgment has never been paid. The sheriffs hope that the threat of vital machinery being seized will be enough convince the boss to settle his debt.
