DEBT COLLECTION SERVICES

What is your strategy for unpaid invoices?

In business, like in life, there are times when things don’t go according to plan. If you have a client who cannot or refuses to pay for your services, you may find yourself staring at a loss and doing a few jobs without any profit to recover your cost. Provided you have adequate business documentation, you could pursue matters legally and engage a third party to recover your money.

Result-focused debt collection

Debt collection often looks like a murky job, however, with an ethical company like Debt Free, you can rest assured that the entire process is legal and transparent. As a collection company with expert collectors, we focus on getting results and have a 30-day collection process.

Motivated by business value

Debt Free only charges commission on the money we recover for our clients. This commission-based business model means we are motivated to collect your debt as our business depends upon the financial value we bring to your business. We have highly trained collection staff with years of combined experience in the industry, consistently delivering results. We adhere to government legislation and policies set out for the collection industry at all times.

Ethical, respectful debt recovery

We understand that businesses can face unexpected setbacks, so we focus on maintaining your relationships with clients during the collection process and do not burn bridges unless necessary. There have been times when companies we have recovered the money from have approached us for our services.

Focus on business and leave the collection to us

Often, recovering money from clients can take up valuable time and mental energy from you or your staff. This is time and energy that can be spent more efficiently. This is why we handle the collection completely, leaving you to focus on your business and what you do best.

Check your collection status on our portal

We have a client portal that lets you check the status of the debt collection process you’ve entrusted us with. You can also load debts for us to work on, view the latest updates from our end on existing jobs, and more.
