Time is money.
We recover both.

Upload any unpaid debt, and we'll chase it for you. Using both legal tools (letters of demand, court claims) and debt collection tools (email and SMS reminders), we offer an end-to-end process so you don't have to worry about getting your money back.

Recover your money

We can't act in Western Australia yet.

Collecting a debt on someone else's behalf there needs a licence we don't hold. You can still send your own letter of demand with our free generator.

Get advice before you send.

A letter of demand works when the debt isn't in question. A dispute about the work or the amount needs negotiation or legal advice first.

Agency, solicitor or platform: which fits? →

Lodge a proof of debt instead.

Once a liquidator, administrator or trustee is appointed, a demand has no effect. Lodge a proof of debt with the appointed practitioner.

How much does a letter of demand cost?

$29 with SydneyCollect, paid once when you send it. A law firm usually charges $500 to $600 for the same first letter.

How much do debt collectors charge?

Australian collection agencies typically take 15% to 30% of what they recover. Collect+ is $29 when you send, plus 10% of what you recover (minimum $150), charged only when you're paid. If your customer doesn't pay, you don't pay the 10%.

Who is SydneyCollect for?

Businesses chasing unpaid invoices or fees from customers in NSW, VIC, QLD or the ACT. Most debts we chase are between $1,500 and $100,000. It works best when there's no dispute about the work, only the payment.

Will it damage my relationship with the customer?

The letter is formal and calm. It states what's owed, the date to pay by and what you may do next, and gives your customer an easy way to pay you or tell you what's going on.

Whose name is on the letter?

It's your business's demand for payment, sent by SydneyCollect on your behalf. The letter is lawyer-approved. SydneyCollect is not a law firm, and the letter is not legal advice.

What happens if they ignore it?

With a $29 letter, we send your customer a reminder after a week. With Collect+, we keep following up by email and text for a month. If it's still unpaid, you can refer it to a partner law firm in one click, with no upfront cost to refer.

Where does the money go?

Straight to you. Your customer pays into your bank account and we never hold your money. Mark it paid in your dashboard and the follow-up stops.

What do I need to get started?

Your business details, your customer's email address and mobile number, and the invoice. Upload the invoice, or connect Xero and pick it, and we fill in the details for you to check.

Can I stop it once they pay?

Yes. Mark it paid, pause it or close it from your dashboard at any time. There's no cancellation fee.

Which states do you cover?

Your business can be anywhere in Australia. We act when your customer, the one who owes you, is in NSW, VIC, QLD or the ACT.

Who runs SydneyCollect?

SydneyCollect is the trading name of Aus Paid Pty Ltd (ABN 29 697 527 843), based in Greenacre, NSW. SydneyCollect is not a law firm.
