NCI Collections Service Agreement for Clients of IODM

We acknowledge that certain functions we engage with on this website will involve the provision of services to us by a division of National Credit Insurance (Brokers) Pty Ltd, known as NCI Commercial Collections (NCI).

We agree that:

1. All information we receive from NCI will be held in strict confidence and not disclosed to any other person unless specifically authorised by NCI or required by law.
2. Where NCI has provided information concerning identifiable individuals, we will deal with that information in accordance with our requirements under the Privacy Act 1988 and its amendments.
3. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we will indemnify and hold NCI harmless against any legal actions that may arise out of information NCI provide to us, regardless as to whether that information is correct or incorrect.
4. We will notify NCI in writing, within seven days, of any change to our identity, address, contact details or corporate name or style.
5. NCI shall use its best endeavours to pursue the collection of outstanding monies (debts) owed to us by our customers. We accept, however, that not all debts can, or will, be collected either in part or in full.
6. Where NCI believes that a conflict of interest may arise were NCI to undertake collection action on our behalf, we will accept a referral from NCI to a recommended third party to undertake collection action on our behalf as a satisfactory fulfilment of NCI’s obligations to us.
7. Commission is payable by us to NCI on our customer’s account once it is submitted to NCI for collection provided that payments are made against our customer’s account, goods are returned, or credits given to our customer.
8. Commission will be calculated as 10% of the value of the debt successfully collected subject to a minimum commission of $100 (plus GST) and a maximum commission of $4950 (plus GST).
9. On demand from NCI we shall make payment to NCI in respect of any out of pocket expenses incurred by NCI in pursuit of any debt owed to us by our customer regardless as to how those expenses might have been incurred.
10. NCI will remit, on a monthly basis, the total amount of debt recovered on our behalf (but only to the extent cleared by NCI’s bank) after deducting all charges for commission, court filing fees, solicitor and barrister costs and disbursements and incidental expenses for all collection work undertaken for us under this agreement.
11. NCI is authorised by us to sign any document that is required in order to issue any legal document needed to progress any proceedings necessary for the collection of our debts. We also authorise, as our agent, any lawyer engaged by NCI to act on our behalf under this agreement (including where any defence or counterclaim is raised in response to the collection of the debt). We accept that we will be responsible for payment of all costs and expenses of the lawyers (or any barrister engaged by the lawyers) in this endeavour, and will reimburse NCI for any amounts they may have paid to such lawyers and/or barristers.
12. NCI shall be entitled to request from us a sum of money in advance on account of any anticipated legal fees and disbursements. NCI may either deposit such money into their general bank account (with a corresponding credit being raised in our favour) where it will be used to reduce any credit granted to us, or placed in the trust account of the lawyers engaged by NCI to act on our behalf and drawn down on in satisfaction of properly incurred legal fees and disbursements.
13. NCI may charge an administration and marketing contribution fee (AMC) to lawyers they engage on our behalf. The AMC may be up to 20% of the lawyer’s professional fees and may apply in respect of past, present and future proceedings. This is purely a matter between NCI and those lawyers, it is not payable by us and we have no right to claim any part of the AMC.
14. Should we default in the payment of any monies due to NCI under this agreement, all monies due to NCI will become immediately due and payable. In this respect, we further agree to pay interest on those monies at whichever is the higher rate of either 14% per annum or the interest rate allowed under the relevant court rules and/or legislation applicable to the jurisdiction in which the collection work was performed for us. Our payment obligations in this regard will also extend to any expenses, costs or disbursements incurred by NCI (or on NCI’s behalf) in recovering any outstanding payments from us, all of which may be recovered as a liquidated debt.
