Common LITIGATION Questions

The idea of starting debt collection litigation can be intimidating and we understand you may have a lot of questions about what’s involved.

Please feel free to reach out to our team with any questions about the debt recovery process.

In most Australian states and territories, debts can be recovered up to six years after it first arises. Debt can be recovered any time from its due date onwards till the 6 year time period expires. If you’re unsure whether your debt is still able to be pursued, please contact our debt recovery team.

In most cases, no. We will begin legal proceedings if your debtor does not respond to our letter of demand. The first stage of these legal proceedings is to file an originating process in the local/magistrates, district/county or supreme courts which can take the form of a way of summons, complaint or statement of claim.

This claim will then be filed by the court and served to your debtor. Your debtor will then have up to 28 days from the date they are served with originating process to pay, make a payment arrangement, request further and better particulars or file a cross-claim or defence. If they don’t respond within the 28 day period, the court may enter a judgment in your favour without further notice to the debtor. Our debt collecting lawyers are very experienced in advising and assisting you with defended claims.

Litigation is fortunately not required in the majority of debt recovery cases. Litigation only becomes necessary when a debtor refuses to respond to contact made by a debt collector. If your debtor refuses to respond to our letters or other forms of communication, we may take legal action against them to secure your payment.

Occasionally debtors will defend these claims in court. Our debt recovery solicitors are highly experienced in fighting defended claims and will do everything they can to secure a positive outcome for your case.
