We will argue hard for every cent you are owed. That is why we have been so successful over the years with over a thousand construction contractor clients and millions recovered every year!
Dan Moras2024-05-10A massive thankyou to CDR they are superstars.. They assisted me in recouping an amount that was owed to me unfairly by a customer.... Melanie and Anthony will hold your hand through the process as this can be a very stressful time if you havent experienced this process before. In trust in the process follow their instructions be patient and believe in the truth. They helped me recoup 100% of the debt plus any other adjudication and related costs etc. I thoroughly recommend them if you have an issue with an over due payment etc. They are very experienced and knowledgeable with all the tricks from slippery customers and the excuses.... Subscribe to their news letters / releases etc for your future management of Invoice and or cash payments you will gain more knowledge.... They are the last of the good guys. Regards Dan Moras

Paul McCullough2023-03-31As a sole trader I was financially destroyed by the company I was contracted to when they failed to pay me for the works undertaken. I was owed a considerable amount (approx $200K). After hearing a CDR advert I contacted Anthony. After an initial outline of my situation Anthony was firmly of the belief I had been wronged and recommended we fight. I can't praise Anthony, Melanie and their legal network high enough. Personally I had given up hope of retrieving any money though the professionalism and confidence Anthony and the team provided was brilliant. The legal process was something I was unfamiliar with and complex though the team guided me through my part of the process. Following several months I received a significantly favorable outcome with the court of appeal awarding me nearly all the monies owed to me. My life genuinely has changed for the better and I have no hesitation in recommending Contractors Debt Recovery. My family and I Thank you Anthony and team.
Testimonials
To all subcontractors, please don’t be stood over by Builders. We currently engaged Anthony from Contractors Debt Recovery to help us recover $45,800.00 from a major builder who, as most of them think don’t have to pay their final accounts, on the pretence that subbies are all small and wont chase it up through the courts due to the time and money it would cost. After speaking to Anthony he told us how to protect ourselves against this occurring and how to go about recovering the monies owing.
Thanks To Anthony and his team after a period of 2 months we recovered our outstanding Monies, and now have it in our Bank where it belongs. Yes there was a cost but nowhere near if we had gone legal; and the time saved was enormous. I would encourage any subbie to speak to Anthony and his team if in the position we found ourselves in.
I was in a great financial crisis last year in June 2015 as my client who is a prominent property group took a U turn on the payment of my invoices amounting $77,000.00. I had done over 35 Designs for his projects one after the other and I trusted them that they will pay my fees. However, they started twisting my arm to accept $ 22,800.00 only and started disputing on many items of my invoices which were clearly made a part of our signed contract. It was very frustrating.
I started searching legal help in the internet and found Contractors Debt Recovery’s website and came to know about Anthony Igra who had a number of references and testimonials on the company’s web portal.
After reading a few I developed confidence that all is not lost yet. I found a ray of hope to recover my payment from the dishonest, cunning and cheating developer. Thereafter I contacted him on the telephone and went along with his advice which had a number of steps including submission of my signed contracts for each of the 35 cases, copies of the certified and completed designs and the invoices.
Anthony with his professional expertise and vast experience of recoveries of debts prepared everything on my behalf and served on the Respondent. Although the client had prominent lawyers who responded to the letters, they had no experience in dealing with Anthony on this subject. Anthony systematically nullified their legal responses and moved the claim to adjudication.
The adjudicator examined the submissions thoroughly and the terms of contract based on AS 4122 – Conditions of Contract for Design Consultants. Their interpretation of the terms and examination of my claims resulted in a determination for the respondent to pay $56,800.00 to me within a week which included fees of $5,445.00. I saw the client who had a band wagon of experienced and clever lawyers desperate to pay my cheque of $56,800.00 before the deadline as they were very much scared of the consequences of disobeying the Adjudicator – and Anthony’s next move.
I, who had lost my confidence earlier, feel very strong. The 36 page verdict of the Adjudicator has recharged my batteries to claim the balance payments held up by this developer.
I take this opportunity to laud Anthony for his professional ability to recover such a large amount. It was a very hard slap on the Respondent’s face. These guys have a very bad reputation in the market and bad payment history as most of the electricians who met me had been unpaid at some stage or the other and they stopped working for them.
An overwhelming thank you to the Support of Anthony and Melanie from CDR! When we thought we would never see the money owed to us for contracts completed over 12 months ago!
With all your guidance and support and the patience with a new client the experience has been easy and ending in excellent results for our small business. We would HIGHLY recommend your services to those stuck. Your company will be who we turn to if we ever need help again… The kindest thank you C&K.
Anthony, thank you for your assistance in the above matter it was your knowledge of the act and the way you presented our case that gave us the determination that we were looking for.
I never thought they would give in; thought they would take next step and defend the discussion and with the cost of that we would have had to give in. This morning it was to our delight that we found a deposit from them for $51,340.00 in our account.
Again thank you and will be in touch if ever we require your assistance again (let me say I hope not but we do work in the Building Industry).
I just wanted to thank you very much for the successful outcome of the claim for non-payment of final invoices from the builder I was contracted to do work for. As a small subcontractor bricklayer, it is a minefield of legalities that sees me way out of my depth and throughout the whole process the CDR team were extremely positive, professional and persistent in the pursuit of recovering my monies and guiding me throughout the whole process every step of the way to achieve the best possible outcome 100% funds and expenses recovered. I would not hesitate to pass on your details to other contractors who may find themselves in the same situation and can’t thank you enough for everything you have done.
Many thanks for helping us get paid for work we had carried out on a project. Our client dug his heels in and flatly refused to pay for work done. You (CDR) submitted a professional adjudication submission which led to a painless process resulting in us receiving the full amount owed. Thank you again and we would not hesitate recommending Anthony and his team in the future.
Many thanks to Anthony and Melanie from CDR team for all your insight and support.
Our experience once again has been excellent, results excellent, and we highly recommend your services. We will not hesitate to use again.
We are a plumbing company and owed a reasonable size debt from a large contracting firm. We were recommended to Contractors Debt Recovery by another subcontractor and never looked back. Anthony and his team went to work straight away. We had hased this money for a considerable amount of time and effort but with Contractors Debt Recovery streamlined approach to adjudication we received all monies owed to us a short period of time.
Thank you Anthony & Mel for all your help and support as it was the first time we had had to go through this and you made it very simple. I would recommend Debt Recovery to anyone who is waiting on overdue payments.
