What is a Credit Default?

A credit default is a permanent listing on the debtor’s credit file showing that a debt has not been paid. This listing will become public and is recorded by using a commercial Credit Reporting Bureau, such as Equifax (formally Veda Advantage) or Creditor Watch who are Australia’s largest credit reporting bureaus. As debt collectors we can record the payment default on the debtor's credit file for you.

Why use a Credit Default?

A credit default may affect the debtors ability to obtain credit in the future. It lets other's know that the debtor is a problem payer and to avoid doing business with them. The credit default will remain on the debtor's credit file for a period of up to 5 years making it an effective debt collection tool. Both Equifax (formally Veda Advantage) and Creditor Watch will immediately notify their subscribers of the default.

Debt Collection and a Credit Default

​A credit default can be a powerful debt collection action. If your debt is for the supply of commercial goods or services, the debtor owes you more than $100 and the debt has been outstanding for more than 60 days, we may be able to place a default on their credit file for you as registered debt collectors. Strict procedures need to be followed before a credit default can be recorded on a debtor's credit file by a debt collector.
