Debt recovery services Gold Coast
If you are owed money by a debtor on the Gold Coast or elsewhere in Australia, our debt recovery lawyers can assist with recovering the debt efficiently and effectively.
Our services include:
- Issuing a letter of demand requiring payment of the debt within a specified timeframe
- Negotiating payment arrangements where the debt cannot be paid in full, including structured repayment plans
- Preparing and formalising payment agreements to protect your position in the event of default
- Commencing court proceedings to recover the debt or outstanding balance, including preparing and filing claims in the appropriate court
- Arranging service of court documents on the debtor
- Advising on the enforcement of judgments and available recovery options
If court proceedings are required, we will guide you through each step of the process and act on your behalf to achieve the best possible outcome.
Practical advice on debt recovery
Once a claim has been served, the debtor generally has 28 days to either pay the full amount claimed (including costs) or file a notice of intention to defend and a defence setting out the grounds of dispute. In some cases, the debtor may seek to negotiate a reduced settlement or enter into a payment arrangement.
Our debt recovery lawyers can assist with:
- Negotiating full payment of the claim or an agreed settlement, including structured payment arrangements where appropriate
- Preparing and formalising settlement or repayment agreements to protect your position in the event of default
- Assessing the merits of any defence filed and advising on the appropriate next steps, including whether summary judgment may be available
- Progressing the matter to hearing where required
- Applying for default judgment where no defence is filed within the required timeframe
If a defence is filed, we will assess its merits and advise on whether the matter can be resolved promptly or should proceed to hearing. If no defence is filed, we can apply for default judgment and take steps to recover the outstanding debt.
Enforcing a judgment
Our debt recovery lawyers advise on the available options to enforce a judgment and recommend the most appropriate course of action based on your circumstances.
If information about the debtor’s financial position is limited, we can undertake searches or require the debtor to provide a financial statement. If the debtor fails to comply, we can apply to the court for an order requiring them to attend and disclose their financial position.
Once the debtor’s financial position is established, we will advise on the most effective enforcement strategy.
Enforcement options may include:
- Enforcement warrant – redirection of earnings, including garnishee of wages
- Enforcement warrant – seizure and sale of property, including real estate or other assets such as vehicles
- Issuing a creditor’s statutory demand where the debtor is a company
