Frequently Asked Questions
As a trusted debt recovery agency, our experienced team is here to guide you through the process and answer any questions about recovering a debt in Australia. Browse our FAQs below, and if you don’t see what you need, feel free to get in touch with us directly.
How can an overseas business recover a debt from an Australian company?
An overseas business can refer an unpaid commercial debt to Bell Mercantile for recovery in Australia. We review the available documentation, contact the Australian debtor, pursue professional commercial negotiation and recommend further recovery action where appropriate.
What types of debts can Bell Mercantile recover?
We assist with unpaid commercial, trade, service, corporate, import and export debts. Each matter is assessed individually, including the amount owing, supporting documentation, the debtor’s circumstances and the most appropriate recovery strategy.
How does the Australian debt collection process work?
The process generally begins with a review of the debt and supporting documents. We then contact the debtor, seek payment through professional negotiation and consider formal legal recovery where necessary. The approach depends on the circumstances of each matter.
Do you charge upfront fees?
Bell Mercantile operates on a commission-on-collection basis for applicable matters. There are no joining fees, and our commission is charged only when money is recovered. The applicable commission structure is confirmed before the matter is placed.
Can you recover debts from companies anywhere in Australia?
Yes. Bell Mercantile assists with debt collection throughout Australia, including metropolitan and regional areas. Our work is not limited to one city or state.
What happens if an Australian company refuses to pay?
If a debtor refuses to pay, we assess the available recovery options and may recommend further formal action. Depending on the circumstances, this can include stronger demand correspondence, negotiated arrangements, legal proceedings or enforcement steps.
How long does debt collection take?
The timeframe varies according to the amount owed, the quality of the supporting documents, the debtor’s response and whether legal action is required. Some matters resolve quickly through negotiation, while disputed or difficult debts may take longer.
How do I submit a debt to Bell Mercantile?
You can contact Bell Mercantile with details of the debtor, the amount outstanding, the relevant invoices or agreement and any previous correspondence. We can then assess the matter and explain the next steps.
