A Legal Demand is the best way of Getting PAID
and at $35+GST it’s also affordable!
Take control of your bad debts with our Free Legal Guide
HOW IT WORKS
Register online (free of charge) so we know who you are and where to send your money.
Log in at any time to issue a Legal Demand to get your bad debts paid.
Pay $35* for an email Legal Demand or $40* for a post and email Legal Demand.
For larger debts, you can authorise us to negotiate a payment plan with your debtor (with the minimum instalment amount to be decided by you).
*All prices are quoted exclusive of GST.
We issue the Legal Demand on lawyer’s letterhead to your debtor anywhere in Australia instantly and send you a copy.
Click here to see a sample Legal Demand.
If you authorise us to, we will invite your debtor to offer to pay the debt by instalments at no additional cost to you.
We electronically remit to you debtor payments within 7 days of receipt.
At any time from your client portal you can see the repayments and the outstanding amount of the debt.
If we don’t receive payment (and mostly we do), we’ll assess the available options (free of charge) and recommend the most cost-effective course of action.
We will provide a no-obligation quote for the work involved and an estimate of what costs you can recover from the debtor.
You then decide if you want to take the matter further.
WHY CHOOSE US?
Why should you engage us instead of a traditional debt collection agency?
We are more effectiveProfessional debtors know that debt collectors can't take legal action. We are licensed to provide legal advice and commence court proceedings.
We are cheaperWe don't charge hefty commissions or hidden extras on top of our fixed fee. If a debt collection agent can’t collect your debt, they'll usually hire one for you. You'll probably end up paying both!
We are localWe are Western Australia based, with offices in the Perth CBD. Local knowledge, local experience and local service to get your bad debts paid.
Upfront Fixed FeesWe will tell you exactly what it will cost and how much you can expect to recover from the debtor, arming you with the information to decide whether a debt is worth pursuing.
ConvenientInstruct us on new matters and keep track of the progress of existing matters with our easy-to-use website.

Absolutely brilliant service.
Absolutely brilliant service. Once they received a demand it scared them into paying immediately. Thanks for saving us much time and effort chasing the money that was owed to us. As small business owners we don’t need the stress involved with chasing non-payers and you guys made the whole process fast and easy ! Highly recommend!
