Our Proven Debt Recovery Process

Letter of Demand

A demand of payment serves as a final notice prior to commencing legal action. Our team will issue a formal demand via email, post, phone or in person. This is often the fastest and most cost-effective step in the debt collection process.

Negotiation With Debtor

Once the demands have been issued and we receive a response from the debtor, we will then proceed to negotiate the terms of payment directly. We will collect the outstanding amount as a lump sum, or (if approved) we can arrange a payment plan. If a plan is agreed to, our debt collection team will continue to pursue these payments and provide ongoing updates.

Legal Action

Our experienced debt recovery lawyers are on hand should you need to proceed with legal action against your debtor. Depending on the nature and value of the claim, matters may be filed in the Magistrates Court or District Court of South Australia. Our debt collection agents work alongside our in-house lawyers to ensure the best possible outcome.
