"The Debt Collection industry in New Zealand is not regulated by the Government.
This means debt collection agencies are not required to abide by any specific industry rules or regulations and unfortunately, this can mean that unprofessional and unscrupulous debt collectors can operate here.

We at Clement Collections Ltd feel very strongly that our industry needs tighter controls.
The ability to uphold appropriate law changes would be of great benefit not only to those credible and responsible agencies in the industry, but also to New Zealand business as a whole."
