Court Fees

Victorian Magistrates’ Court

Vic Collect’s commission fee is not carried over into Court proceedings, UNLESS you have a costs clause allowing your commission to be added into the Claim amount. This means that you only pay the Court costs going forward and will not be charged any commission if a recovery is made. If you do have a costs clause, then your debt and the commission fee form the claim amount to be filed in Court.

Recovery of Debt Collection Fees

Can you recover the fees we charge you
from your debtor?

Normally, no. You have engaged a third party to perform services for you. Your debtor is not a party to that engagement. HOWEVER, if you have a signed quote, agreement or credit application form which has been signed by your debtor and that quote, agreement or credit application contains the applicable debt collection costs clause, then YES, you may demand payment of your debt collection fees from a debtor.

How can you implement this?

Send us an email with your request and we will contact you to discuss how we can implement a “cost clause” for your business.
