• complaints relating to debt collectors

​

We can assist you with: 

• legal advice about your rights and responsibilities 

• help with completing court documents such as: 

  • From 2.52 Statement of Enforcement Debtor's Financial Position​

  • An application to amend, suspend, or set aside enforcement orders

  • An application for an instalment order
