What is legal debt recovery?
Legal debt recovery is the act of recovering unpaid debts from debtors using the Courts or the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (“QCAT“). Usually commenced by claim and statement of claim, the aim is to get an enforceable judgment or money order.
How long can old debts be collected?
As mentioned above, a creditor has six (6) years from the last time the debtor acknowledges the debt in writing, or makes a payment toward the debt, until that old debt can be collected.
TIP – If you are reaching the end of a six (6) year limitation period, try to get the debtor to make a small payment, or a written acknowledgement that the debt remains due and payable, and the limitation period starts over again.
What is a Bankruptcy Notice?
How to I comply with a statutory demand?
You can comply with a statutory demand by doing either of the following:
- To pay to the creditor the amount of the debt or total of the amounts of the debts; or
- To secure or compound for the amount of the debt or total of the amounts of the debts, to the creditor’s reasonable satisfaction.
How much does debt recovery cost?
