Customer hasn't paid you on time? We can help. Sign up and load your overdue invoices immediately.

We make debt recovery easy.

You’re great at what you do – that’s why you’re in business. But that might not mean you have the time or the expertise to proactively manage and resolve your debt collection.

Effective debt management is essential for any business, and at EC Credit Control it’s what we do. As a reputable debt resolution agency, our team are specialists in getting you results.

By using our expertise, you can provide a cushion for your business, position yourself for growth and rest easy knowing your cash flow, and your customers, are in good hands.

How do I sign up?

The easiest way to sign up online.  This only takes a few minutes, and you must agree to our pricing and terms and conditions as part of that process.  If you are a Xero customer, you can sign up with your Xero credentials and then use our super speedy Xero connection to load your overdue invoices.  You can also contact us and we can email you a form to complete and sign.

When should I load a debt?

The highest likelihood for success is as soon after the due date as possible.  Motivation for customers to pay drops as soon as the work is complete.  Loading a debt sooner also means that you aren’t wasting further time of your own when you could be generating revenue.  Lots of business refer customers to us if they remain unpaid at 90 days.

How do I refer an overdue invoice to you for collection?

Loading debts with us is super easy and only take a couple of minutes.  The process is to log in to our portal (or sign up if you aren’t a client already), enter the details of the customer(s) with the overdue invoices and hit submit.

What happens after I have loaded my debt?

We undertake a series of searches and checks and then contact your customer as soon as possible.  We work with them and make it really easy for them to pay us.  You can track our progress online at any time.  If your customer has some sort of dispute, we will ask you to respond to them so that we can move forward.

What is your approach with my customer?

We operate with a ‘resolution first, always’ approach.  This means that, from the outset, we try to engage and work with your customer to achieve a positive result.

When will you pay me?

We pay all of our clients as part of our end of month invoicing.  Any payments we have received from your customers up to that point will be transferred to your bank account less our commission and GST.

How can I get paid on time more often?

Great question!  Everything we do helps businesses get paid on time.  The foundation for this are robust and compliant terms and conditions of trade.  We can supply these to you either via a digital subscription that we host online for you or you can buy documents from us.  Check out our terms of trade page.

Do you have a package that looks after both terms of trade and debt collection?

We sure do!  Our Professional terms of trade subscription gives you comprehensive terms and conditions of trade as well as free debt loading.

We work on a no collection, no commission cost structure. 

The only up-front cost to you is the debt-load fee of $50 (excluding GST).

Commission is charged to you based on the total payment received or arranged for recovery.

This is regardless of whether any recovery costs involved are collected.

Our commission charges (excluding GST) are as follows:

25% on the first $10,000.00
15% on the next $10,000.00
5% over $20,000.00

If they haven’t paid in 90 days, do load your debt for collection as soon as possible. To discuss your specific needs, get in touch.

This depends on many factors and is therefore different case by case. We have collected within 24 hours in previous cases.

Yes, this has a positive impact on reaching a quick resolution.

No, but please get in touch if there are special circumstances.

If you have comprehensive Terms and Conditions of Trade, you can often recover these costs from your customer. Contact us to see if this is possible.

Absolutely. We have Business Support Specialists throughout the country who in most instances can meet you in person or via our virtual meeting room. Click on ‘Contact>Locations’ in the top menu to find your local representative.

I've used EC Credit Control for a number of years across several different companies and have consistently had a positive experience. They provided a comprehensive set of Terms of Trade that were practical, well-structured, and easy to implement within our business. A particular mention goes to Shaun Irvin, who was excellent to deal with throughout the process. His communication was prompt, professional, and clear, making the entire engagement straightforward and efficient. Based on my experience, EC Credit Control delivers a reliable service backed by knowledgeable staff who genuinely understand the needs of New Zealand businesses. I would happily recommend them to any organisation looking for credit management support, documentation, or advice.

I am very happy to endorse the work and accomplishments of our experience with EC Credit Control. The initial sales connections were collegial and constructive as they guided us through the process, never rushing and letting us set the pace. Ordinarily, we don't incur bad debts, but a client had problems processing our payments due to an internal systems problem, and we needed help. Once engaged, EC Credit Control were very effective, with a very quick payment from our client. Evidently, they treated our client with courtesy and respect, and we maintain positive relations with our client. Well done, thank you.
