FAQ's

Will using a debt collection agency negatively impact my business's reputation?

What is the usual timeframe for debt recovery?
The timeframe for debt recovery can vary depending on factors such as the debtor's responsiveness and financial situation. We work diligently to expedite the process while maintaining professionalism.
How do you ensure compliance with debt collection regulations?
Advance Debt Collection strictly follows the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) guidelines to ensure ethical and legal debt collection practices.
Can Advance Debt Collection handle both small and large debt recovery cases?
Yes, Advance Debt Collection has the expertise to manage debt recovery cases of varying sizes. Whether it's a single overdue invoice or a larger outstanding amount, we tailor our strategies to suit your specific needs.
Will using a debt collector damage my customer relationships?
The short answer is no, debt collectors adhere to the highest standards of ethics and follow the strict guidelines for collectors and creditors when recovering outstanding debts.
Using a third party to recover your outstanding debts will not negatively impact your customer relations, if anything using a collection agency will help improve your customer payment terms.
What is the cost of debt collection?
There are several factors that will influence the cost of the recovery of debts such as:
- What type of debt collection service you require for your business.
- How old the unpaid debt is for; and
- The collection agencies commission rate.
Typically, the collection fee is more for a older, and collection companies will charge between 10% – 35% commission prior to commencing recovering the debt. However, there are debt collection agencies that will only charge a commission on the successful recovery of the debt, this simplifies the process for the collection agency and the client.
Are old debts recoverable?
Yes you can recover older debts, but there is a statute of limitations, simple contracts have a statute of limitation of 6 years in Australia, with the expection of the Northern Territory which is 3 years.
Debts that have passed the statute of limitations means you are no longer able to make a claim and take the debtor to court for payment, if you were to pursue the debtor in court, the debtor would have a valid defence not to pay. If you have a debt that is considered “statute-barred” it is essential to consult a legal practioner for advice.
What happens after 6 years of not paying debt?
If a debt is not paid within 6 years then it is not legally allowed to be recovered unless the debtor has either made a payment in the past 6 years or has acknowledged the debt in writing.
If you have aged debts, it is vitally important that you seek to recover the debt before the limitation date.
When should I refer the debt to Advance Debt Collection?
As soon as it becomes overdue. In a lot of cases, the longer a debt remains unpaid, the less chance you have of successfully recovering the debt.
How much does debt collection cost?
We have a sliding percentage scale based upon a no collection no commission basis. If we do not collect, then we do not charge you.
