The short answer? Yes, litigation is a fantastic tool for debt collection.

At Debt Recoveries Australia, we aim to recover debts and work amicably with debtors without having to pursue a case legally. But if we believe that a case should be pursued with litigation, we follow up the case with our legal team, ADC Legal-Litigation Lawyers.

ADC Legal and Debt Recoveries Australia work in conjunction with each other. We find working together produces the best results as we keep the same cases within the same team. The problem that some businesses and individuals face when employing litigation services for debt recovery is they outsource the litigation work to other teams.

It’s much easier to produce results when a case stays within the one team. At Debt Recoveries Australia, a case that was being worked on through the DRA group is then transferred to the ADC Legal team. By keeping the information in the same area, this allows us to explore all possible options without losing track and missing out on potential avenues – which is what can happen if people decide to outsource their cases to multiple other businesses.

Keeping the cases within the same team also better allows us to analyze and evaluate the risk of taking litigation action. In seeing cases through from the very start until the very end, we develop a strong understanding of a case which then increases our likelihood of recovery. This also means that we develop a strong relationship with our clients. That’s why more and more of our clients are keeping their cases within our one debt collecting family.

One thing clients should note, is that litigation can sometimes be a lengthy procedure and the results can sometimes be uncertain. At ADC Legal, we analyze the risk of undergoing a litigation process, then evaluate this risk and we only undertake litigation if we feel confident in our ability to recover lost debts. We also ensure that all our clients are well informed throughout the entire process of our progress, and we aim to work alongside our clients to guarantee transparency for the likelihood of recovery.

Debt Recoveries Australia and ADC Legal aim to give our clients all the possible options they can take. And then depending on the individual case, we act on whatever option the client and our team believe is the best choice to follow through with.
