Professional Debt Recovery Agency in Adelaide
JMA Credit has been helping Adelaide and South Australian based small & medium size businesses for over 50 years efficiently to recover their debts quickly and effectively. Operating out of our headquarters in Melbourne, we are the national leader in collection agencies and have the utmost professionalism with the collection process.
When our name is introduced to start the Debt collection process, most debtors’ will either pay the full amount of the debt or arrange to pay by instalments. We either send a final notice letter on our letterhead or we can send a solicitor’s letter of demand.
If the letters are unsuccessful, we can then follow up with a telephone demand and exhaust all pre-legal steps to recover your debts. If they are a company or business, we can also list a default on their credit history on your behalf. We consider our process to be “best practice” but of course our service can be tailored to suit your individual needs.

What Does Our Debt Collection Service Cost?
If you have a signed Credit Application or agreement with your debtor that includes terms and conditions that allow you to recover debt collection costs, these can be added to the debt and legally recovered from the debtor.
We do handle one-off debts and our collection fees are structured based on the size of the debt, and the volume of work you provide to us.

Frequently Asked Questions
- At what age can a debt still be collected? Debts up to 6 years old can still be pursued. If your debt is over 6 years old it is deemed to statutory barred, and therefore cannot be recovered.
- How many debts can I submit for collection? When you are established as a client of JMA you may submit unlimited debts for collection.
- Can JMA list a credit default against a debtor? Due to the Privacy Act, we cannot lodge defaults against individuals or divulge information stored on its database to a third party. We can however list a default on your behalf against a business or company for a reasonable fee.
- How long does the collection process take? Due to the individual circumstances of each debt, we are unable to quote an accurate recovery time. We try to recover your debt/s without resorting to legal action, but if this step is required and approved by you, it may take 6-8 months before a result can be achieved. Once your debt is lodged for collection, the process starts the same day, and we apply constant pressure. Our clients can quickly obtain up to date information on their accounts via the online client service, 24 hours, 7 days a week.
- What is the minimum value debt that JMA Credit Control will collect? For one-off debts, the minimum amount we will accept for collection is $1000.00.
- Are debts greater that 6 months old more difficult to collect? Yes the longer you leave a debt, the more difficult it becomes to collect and if you leave it this long the Company or business may be insolvent and therefore you will be unable to recover your debt.
