Debt Collection in Australia

The Debt Collection industry's performance tends to improve when economic conditions are weak, as these factors can elevate business bankruptcies and cause more households to default on loans. On the other hand, a strong economy and tight lending practices can dampen debt collection agencies' performance. Households and businesses pay down debts when the economy is performing well, while tighter lending practices leads to better loans that are less likely to default.

Debt collection firms retrieve debt payments from individuals and businesses that have failed to meet the terms and conditions outlined by their loan agreements. A firm can act as an agent on behalf of a creditor, for which the firm receives a fee or percentage of the total amount collected. Alternatively, firms can purchase bad debt from the original creditors at a discount on its face value.
