Credit repair for Sydney residents

Sydney has the largest concentration of consumer credit listings in the country, and the most lenders checking them. A default, judgement or repayment history error on a Sydney credit file is assessed the same way anywhere else in Australia — under the Privacy Act 1988 — but the court and consumer bodies you may need to deal with are specific to New South Wales.

NSW courts and judgement listings

Civil judgements affecting Sydney credit files are generally entered in the Local Court of NSW, and enforcement action such as a writ is recorded there. If a default judgement was entered without you being properly served, an application to set it aside is made through that court, not through the credit bureau.

Judgements relevant to Sydney files come from the Local Court of NSW and the District Court of NSW. Where the published listing and the court record disagree, that is a reporting error under the Privacy Act 1988 and can be disputed.

What we review on a Sydney credit file

  • Defaults listed by lenders, telcos and utilities
  • Civil judgements, writs and enforcement listings
  • Repayment history information (late payment markers)
  • Credit enquiries recorded without proper consent
  • Duplicate, expired or mismatched identity listings

Free help available in New South Wales

You are never required to pay for help with your credit file. In New South Wales you can contact LawAccess NSW (1300 888 529) and Legal Aid NSW, raise a matter with NSW Fair Trading, call the National Debt Helpline on 1800 007 007 for free financial counselling, or complain at no cost to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority. We are an optional paid service for people who would rather have the work handled for them.

Outcomes depend on the facts of each credit file. Accurate, complete, current and lawfully recorded information cannot be removed, and we make no representation about credit scores, borrowing capacity or interest rates.

Common questions

Do you need to meet in person in Sydney?
No. Credit reporting is governed by federal law and every dispute is lodged in writing with the credit provider and the credit reporting body, so the entire process is handled by phone, email and post. Sydney clients are serviced the same way as clients anywhere else in Australia.
How much does credit repair in Sydney cost?
The initial review of your credit file is free. Any fee is quoted in writing before work starts and is payable only where a listing is successfully removed or corrected — no win, no fee.
Can I fix my credit file in Sydney myself for free?
Yes. You can dispute a listing directly with the credit provider or the credit reporting body at no cost, get free financial counselling on the National Debt Helpline (1800 007 007), contact LawAccess NSW (1300 888 529) and Legal Aid NSW, raise the matter with NSW Fair Trading, or complain free of charge to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority. Using a paid service is always optional.
How long does a default stay on a Sydney credit file?
A default generally stays for five years from the date it was listed, a serious credit infringement for seven years, and a civil judgement for five years. Only listings that are inaccurate, incomplete, out of date, misleading or unlawfully recorded can be removed earlier.
