Debt recovery in Melbourne
Melbourne is Australia's second-largest commercial city. Victoria's limitation period for contract debts is 6 years under the Limitation of Actions Act 1958 (Vic). Letters of demand are just as effective in VIC as in NSW — and a cross-state demand is entirely legal.
A letter of demand is the required first step before most court actions and is the most cost-effective way to recover a debt without litigation. Send one today in 5 minutes — free.
