Advance Debt Collection Services
Our professional Canberra debt collection services to you include:
I.
If after making all attempts to collect the debt, we are still unsuccessful in recovering the monies owed, the matter can be referred for legal action to Stonegate Legal. Proceedings can be issued out of the Canberra Magistrates Court located at 4-6 Knowles Place, Canberra City ACT.
II.
To commence proceedings in the ACT, for any debts up to $25,000.00, proceedings can commence in the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
A Civil Dispute Application is required to be filed and can be served upon the Respondent by court post. Once the Respondent has been deemed served, the Respondent has 21 days to pay the account in full, enter into a suitable arrangement or lodge a dispute. Failing this, you can proceed to lodge an Application for Default Judgment – Civil Dispute Form.
III.
Once Default Judgment has been obtained, you first need to register the Default Judgment in the Magistrates Court. Once the Default Judgment has been registered, you then need to send the debtor a copy of the Default Judgment along with a Form 2.49 Notice about Court Order and Enforcement Options. The Respondent is to be served via post. Once 7 days has expired since the date of service, enforcement action can proceed.
IV.
In the ACT you have a few options, firstly you could proceed with an Enforcement Hearing Subpoena. Once the Subpoena has been filed, the Court will list the matter for hearing. The Subpoena is required to be served upon the debtor at least 14 days before the hearing date. The debtor is then required to complete the notice setting out their situation and return same to the Court at least 8 days before the hearing date. At the hearing, the debtor will be asked questions about their financial situation and may be asked to supply supporting documentation. From the information gathered, an order may be made for the debtor to repay the judgment debt.
IV.
Alternatively, you may wish to proceed with a Seizure and Sale Order. Once filed, a Sheriff will attend the debtor’s premises to affect a seizure or to ascertain the status of the debtor’s assets. If successful, the Sheriff may seize goods belonging to the debtor to sell at auction in payment of the judgment debt.
V.
Another effective option would be to proceed with a Redirection of Earnings Order. Once filed, the Redirection Order is required to be served upon the debtor’s employer. Upon service of the employer, the creditor must within 5 days, serve a copy of the Redirection Order on the debtor. A Redirection Order filed and served, will operate until such time that the judgment debt is paid in full, or the debtor leaves his/her employment.
