Who Are Stirling Park?

Stirling Park is a Scottish debt collection and enforcement agency based in Aberdeen. They operate as both debt collectors and Sheriff Officers (the Scottish equivalent of bailiffs in England/Wales).

They primarily work with:

• Local authorities - council tax arrears
• Scottish courts - enforcing court decrees
• Public sector clients

They may contact you because:

• A local authority has instructed them to collect council tax
• A court has issued a decree (judgment) against you
• They are enforcing a sheriff court order

Important: In Scotland, Sheriff Officers have legal powers similar to English bailiffs.
