What clients say
“Debt collection is an unwanted aspect in any business. It is therefore important to have the best company deal with this aspect on your behalf. Bredell Ferreira is, and has been, an absolute pleasure to work with. Their team acts with integrity, goes the extra mile and prioritizes our business as if it were their own. Their bespoke approach to debt collection is admirable: customizing reports and systems to ensure our business gets what it needs. We have used other debt collectors in the past, but when it comes to recoverability of our debt, Bredell Ferreira far exceeds any of their predecessors.”
“Thank you for the professional and excellent service that we receive from your team. You always keep us informed about the development and progress of our cases. We are thankful for your willingness to always be on standby whenever we require assistance . We are very happy with your results.”

MEMBERSHIP AND ACCREDITATION
WE ARE PROUD TO BE ACCREDITED WITH RESPECTED INDUSTRY BODIES IN THE DEBT COLLECTION INDUSTRY.
NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR DEBT COLLECTORS
The National Council for Debt Collectors (NCDC) was established for the benefit of companies that collect debt. The NCDC works to improve the collectors’ environment from a legal and regulatory point of view. It is an industry watchdog that ensures compliance. We have a personal relationship with them and engage often to give industry feedback.
SWORDFISH
Our established infrastructure is supported by our state-of-the-art debt collection management system, Swordfish. Swordfish is a debt management technology system that is designed for managing accounts and recovering outstanding debt. It operates on an up-to-date software platform and uses internet connectivity for on-site and off-site operations and support.
INFORMATION AND CREDIT BUREAUS
We have licensing and access to the largest information databases in South Africa, which includes both consumer and business information. This is a wealth of information, and our case management system is directly linked to this database, enabling fast and accurate tracing facilities.
This enables us to obtain vast amounts of data and background information on individuals and businesses, and helps to fast-track the way we work.
Our management system is also directly linked to national credit bureaus. This allows us to list defaulting individuals and businesses with credit bureaus much faster.
DATA ANALYTICS
The information we access from these databases helps us to streamline the collection process. The data partnership gives us access to the following:
• Predictions in commercial credit behaviour
• Bank code verification
• Account verifications
• Monthly income predictors
• Employment confidence indexes
• Pay date predictors
This information enables us to prioritise when we mine large debtor books so that we can focus on the most viable collections first, and collect more money for our clients, faster.
