We contacted Contractors Debt Recovery to run two Security of Payment claims both of which would require the use of the new NSW amendment. Our client needed to recover the money directly from the Principal. In both claims significant amounts were found in our clients favour due to the detailed and comprehensive submissions prepared by Anthony and his team. A total of $360 277 + $163 848: $524 125.00 was recovered quickly. Contractors Debt Recovery were very skilled and fast in their use of the amendment and our client was paid immediately upon presentation of the Debt Certificate. This was a great outcome. We and our client are thankful for the great service we received.

Just wanted to take the opportunity to say how pleased I am with the process and the way you've handled things for us. I have been down this route before but not using the SOP Act and CDR. With the solicitor it took months and lots of dollars and time at the solicitors office including meeting with a barrister for a court hearing which all amounted to almost as much as the debt. By the time I'd finally gotten judgment from the court, I was told I still needed to spend lots more money to have it enforced and that the Sherriff's office would take at least 9 months to get to the enforcement of the order etc. as they were snowed under. Eventually the company went into liquidation and we got zilch.

CDR have gotten me to the same point within 5 weeks with little effort on my part. Thanks again.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you and Melanie on the professional way you handled our two claims. The skilled and proficient approach you both showed during the debt collection process, helped us collect within six weeks over 95% of the debt owing to us. Your follow up phone calls, and explanation of the what to expect from the courts, and the adjudicator, helped us understand in detail the process. I hope that we won’t need your services in the future but if they are required, I know that there is someone professional to turn to. Thank you very much.

Anthony from CDR provided us with prompt professional advice in resolving an outstanding payment dispute we were faced with. Through his determination and incredibly efficient service we were paid money immediately that had been rightfully outstanding to us for months. A big thank you to Anthony and the team at Contractors Debt Recovery.

I just wanted to thank you for helping us get our money. After chasing a shopfitter for an outstanding amount of money for owed for more than 6 months and after receiving some very threatening letters from the defendants lawyers, I had almost given up. Until I was introduced to Anthony a Contractors Debt Recovery. After speaking with Anthony on the phone I regained my confidence and decide to act and get my money back.

It didn’t happen overnight but we were successful and were awarded 100% plus costs. After the client blatantly refused to pay we went to the next level and imposed a garnishee order with the banks to get our money. A little more time went by. And then I opened the mail to find a bank cheque for the full amount. I was wrapped with the outcome and rang Anthony to tell him the good news. The team at Contractors Debt Recovery are easy to deal with and always there when I needed a question answered. I personally would recommend the team at Contractors Debt Recovery and have used them since for several other claims.

My advice to everyone is, follows the steps and listen to Anthony. Do the job, get paid and don’t stress about it anymore. Let Contractors Debt Recovery take care of any problems with payments!

Anthony, just a short note to thank you for your excellent adjudication application which resulted in a resounding win and prompt payment.
A turnaround of miniscule proportions compared to the court system, almost restores my belief in "the system". I would recommend any one in the construction industry to have your direct number on speed dial.
Once again thanks for a job well done.

Having utilised the services of Contractor's Debt Recovery with successful outcomes in the past, we confidently engaged their services again when a high profile company dodged every attempt to pay us for a long list of variations to the original contract. We forwarded our documentation to Anthony and left him to do what he knows best! Although we had personally chased the Client for over a year to no avail, in no time at all Anthony’s work resulted in recovering the $15,000 we were owed. Thanks again!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the help in getting the monies owed to us..

Torraca Metal Roofing took on a project for [debtor] at the Domestic Airport T2 at the start of 2011. We completed all contracted works and a lot of extra's (variations) as well, the last claim was sent in and was dismissed almost entirely for no particular reason. If it was not for Anthony and the team at Contractors Debt Recovery we would never have been paid the $100,144.00 owed to us. This would have crippled our business. Anthony and the team took care of everything for us for a very reasonable fee. They have helped us in a number of smaller cases which have all turned out for our favour. We would encourage other contractors to use Contractors Debt Recovery’s service, it will help. Thanks again Anthony.

"We used Contractors Debt Recovery for the 1st time by recommendation from another company in the building trade. Although the amount being claimed was small we thought it would be great experience as a small business to try & re-coup the money that was clearly owed to us. Anthony at Contractors Debt Recovery was very proficient and professional, and immediately advised us if we had a strong case. Once we provided all necessary details Anthony handled the rest, with the end result in our favour with the debtor being issued a notice to pay us immediately. We would have no hesitation in using Contractors Debt Recovery again or referring them to colleagues".

"Contractors Debt Recovery prepared paperwork which saw our roofing company reclaim over $11,500 in debt. A great introduction to the Security of Payments Act and how easy it is to get those guys we all love to hate".

After chasing a builder for an outstanding invoice for 6 or more months, I had given up hope of ever getting my money. Then I was told of Anthony and his team at CONTRACTORS DEBT RECOVERY. I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. After a telephone conversation with Anthony, they got the ball rolling. To my surprise I received the money I was due and it took only 3 to 4 weeks.

They were always there when i needed a question answered. I personally thank Anthony, Melanie and the team for the service and outcome you have provided for my company. I highly recommend Contractors Debt Recovery and will definitely use them again if needed.

We had issues with a particular customer who always came back to us with the same excuse "I haven't been paid therefore I can1t pay you"! We also found out that some other suppliers were waiting for months and a couple of them for years therefore we decided not to wait any longer because we had the impression we would have faced the same situation soon . We came across Contractors Debt Recovery and they studied all the available documentation thoroughly and prepared the claim accordingly. In less than 10 business days we recovered our 60K debt. As far as I know other suppliers are still waiting an answer, let alone payment...
I strongly recommend the Contractors Debt Recovery team if you want to recover you money in the quickest and most reliable way!

In the course of completing a large wireless communication project, Wireless Data Solution had a need to recover long term unpaid debt.

We had been referred to Contractors Debt Recovery, and we decided that instead of trying up our own management resources we would engage a professional organisation that focused on the current legislation and had a proven track record of successful outcomes when undertaking debt recovery under the Security of Payment Act legislation.

Anthony from Contractors Debt Recovery, requested our invoice and related communications correspondence and when that was provided he took over the matter completely and apart from some minor clarification on some complete technical matters, Anthony processed our claim through to a successful adjudication for our company, and to money in the bank. I have no hesitation in recommending the services of Contractors Debt Recovery.

We are a small plumbing firm and our bottom line was severely compromised when a Strata Agent refused to pay for all the work we had done. A friend of mine told me about Adjudication process with the Security of Payments Act, so I searched the internet and came across Contractors Debt Recovery. I hesitated at first, as I thought our amount of $11,000.00 was “small fry” but after contacting Anthony of Contractors Debt Recovery, who did all the paperwork and the Adjudication submissions, and was tenacious in his approach not only with the Agents but with the Bank who held their account and were in cahoots with the Agent and tried to ignore the Adjudicators decision, (in order to hold onto the Strata Agents business) subsequently we were paid the full amount plus interest accrued. Anthony contacted me regularly to keep me up to date on the matter and I was free to ring him at anytime with any queries.

I would recommend Contractors Debt Recovery to any business who has trouble in collecting unpaid and overdue accounts. I learnt that my work is worth more before I do the job than after the job is done; other people try and put a value on that work under Anthony’s business ethic. I also learnt that I may be a good bloke to my friends but in business I have to be ruthless. I had spent time, materials, and labour in an emergency situation, and after solving the problem and doing a good job I was held to ransom when they wouldn’t pay the bill and only wanted to pay a token amount of it.

With the help of Anthony of Contractors Debt Recovery, that will never be a problem and all small businesses who deal under the Security of Payments Act should have Anthony on their speed dial.

Thanks again Anthony

Thank you Anthony/Contractors Debt Recovery for achieving exactly what you claim "Turning excuses into payments". We found our experience with you easy as the burden of processing correctly was taken from us and handled with extreme competence by you and your firm.

I am glad that I stumbled across you through your website and then a friendly phone conversation that followed. It was worth every cent for getting Contractors Debt Recovery to get my hard earned money from what-was-to-be a non-payer. It took a bit of time but was worth it in the end and hassle free. Was very happy to receive a cheque for the full amount including fees, the one I thought I would never see. Anthony thanks again and will surely call you if a situation like this occurs in the future.

After a couple of written emails to Anthony to see if we had a case for claim under the Security of Payments Act, we had confirmation from Anthony that he believed we did.

From my first verbal conversation with Anthony, one thing stuck in my mind and that was he said that we Tradies needed to "Grow Some Balls" and stop letting these construction companies, builders and clients run off with money that they clearly owed us.

Now I am a follower and disciple of Anthony and CDR.

After commencing a business with a friend who I sub-contracted to, carrying out painting works and administration duties for 6 months and receiving only part payment for invoices, I was suddenly shocked when my friend decided he no longer needed my services and did not believe that he now owed me around $90k. As I had no formal contract and all works were carried out under only a verbal agreement, I believed that was the end of it and I faced financial ruin.

I stumbled upon CDR and Anthony Igra on the Internet and thought well I've got nothing to lose. After the "Grow Some Balls" conversation I decided to take Anthony's enthusiasm on board and chase my money, still a bit sceptical of retrieving anything; remember it was only a verbal agreement.

During the claim process, I had a terrible loss in the family and the whole issue was the least thing I was interested in. I didn't care about the money or the claim process.

This is where Anthony Igra showed his real integrity, by gently persuading me to continue the claim. Without Anthony's enthusiasm I would of walked away and given up. I didn't need the additional stress or heartache at the time. Anthony took the responsibility on himself and continued the claim. The claim went to adjudication where it was ruled that my so called mate had to repay me over $37k and 100% of the arbitration costs plus interest. A fantastic result: remember there was no written contract of any kind.

Dedication, persistence, integrity and balls!! Anthony Igra and CDR have bags of them. CDR should be a new religion for tradies; I know.. I'm a disciple.

Spread the word, use CDR and chase your hard earned money.

Thanks Anthony and CDR.

We recently engaged Contractors Debt Recovery to assist us in claiming $122K from a retailer who put up many excuses for non payment.

Anthony was brilliant with his tenacious determination and his thorough knowledge of the Security of Payments System.

This avoided a costly and lengthy litigation process when only the lawyers win!

Thanks again Anthony for your support

We thought of giving up, but Contractors Debt Recovery got back our final payment ($130 000) from the hardest, richest, and most difficult client that we have ever deal with!! Thanks Again!!

As a company we recently used Contractors Debt Recovery to retrieve some money which was over due to us. We were a bit cautious at first but it was the best decision we have ever made and worth every cent we paid to get it.

Anthony was terrific with his support, advice and determination to get the money using the right laws. We felt that we had someone on our side fighting very hard for us. It was a very successful outcome and all happening very quickly which was fantastic.

I would encourage any company with clients delaying to pay, don't hesitate and use Contractors Debt Recovery.

Anthony, we got the money.

I would like to personally thank you for all your help in assisting assisting in recovering the $78,488.74 from [the Builder] on the [name withheld] Public School.

Your continual and timely support is greatly appreciated.

I have no doubt that [the Builder] would not have paid had it not been for your support

"Before I discovered CDR I wasn't sure whether my company could cost effectively use the Security of Payments Act to recover $14,000 unfairly being withheld for months by a builder. I was wrong; and I saved both time and money by using CDR to help me run my claim. I got everything I claimed; and the builder was ordered to pay 100% of the Adjudicator's costs. I'm very happy with the result and next time I have dispute with a builder I won't wait months before deciding to use the Security of Payments Act to enforce my rights."
