The Collection Company Pty Ltd trading as Kents Collections

THE COLLECTION COMPANY is a long-established debt collection agent based in Queensland and operating throughout Australia.

Our prime objective is to recover outstanding debts owing to our clients. To facilitate this, we have refined methods and practices over many years to ensure the most efficient, cost effective and focused programmes available are utilised and implemented on a client-by-client basis after understanding how they work and their directed approach to their debtors.

We understand that debtors range in status, age, attitude and have developed our own protocols to enable us to deal with all aspects of an individual’s situation to obtain the most reasonable outcomes. Some debtors also refuse to pay. Our legal action protocol is largely conducted in house to save costs but is still an court judgment and we can take enforcement action anywhere in Australia through the court system without the cost of using lawyers.

We also understand that genuine financial stress plays a role so look to ways of resolving those issues for the best possible outcomes.

Time has shown us that there are great advantages in removing the client from the interaction process with their debtors. For this reason, we undertake all work and negotiations as the only contact point for the debtor. This assists in a faster resolution because it ensures there is no misunderstanding  as to direction, intentions and agreements.

Our Team

Headed by Mark Kent - Managing Director, who has over 39 years of legal and debt collection experience. With a team of skilled and experienced staff Kents Collections also has an efficient and uncompromising network of agents and affiliates ensuring effective debt recovery where possible.

Local Government Rates and Charges Recovery

The Collection Company Pty Ltd is able to provide specialist debt recovery services to local governments across Australia, assisting councils to recover overdue rates and water charges efficiently, professionally and in accordance with legislative requirements. Our approach recognises that every account represents a member of the community, balancing firm recovery action with fairness, respect and a commitment to achieving practical outcomes wherever possible.

Our structured recovery process includes account assessment, debtor engagement, payment arrangement management, field services, skip tracing, legal escalation and enforcement where required. We work collaboratively with councils to maximise recoveries while protecting community relationships and ensuring all recovery activity is undertaken in accordance with Council policies, approved procedures and applicable legislation.

Where voluntary payment cannot be achieved, The Collection Company has the experience and legal capability to assist councils through the statutory sale of land process for overdue rates and charges. Working alongside our specialist legal partners, we support every stage of the process, from initial statutory notices through to auction, conveyancing and finalisation, ensuring legislative compliance throughout.

We recognise that local government debt recovery requires a respectful and considered approach when engaging with vulnerable members of the community, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, the elderly, people experiencing financial hardship, disability or illness, and those facing other personal challenges.

 

Our team is committed to treating every individual with dignity, empathy and professionalism, working collaboratively with councils to identify appropriate support pathways and sustainable payment solutions wherever possible, while ensuring recovery activities remain fair, compliant and consistent with Council's community responsibilities.
