Examples of our achievements

Christchurch earthquake

We were engaged to physically visit our community’s most vulnerable people following the devastating Christchurch earthquake. We rapidly deployed over 30 field agents and private investigators to visit people, assess property damage and offer professional assistance in one of the most challenging working environments.

Recovering the impossible.

After negotiations to collect the arrears failed, we repossessed a large spa pool from the rear of an executive’s property. We used a local crane operator, flat deck truck, and civil engineer to assist in repossessing the spa pool.

Results in under 8 hours.

We acted with urgency to provide a large finance company with the transparency they were seeking by auditing a motor vehicle dealership.

Fishing boat located and repossessed.

The last known location was thought to be the Marlborough sounds, we traced the vessel, employed a qualified skipper, and relocated the vessel to a secure location.

Missing food truck traced and repossessed.

After two repossession agents failed to locate a hidden food truck by a habitual debtor in the Manawatu region, our investigations confirmed its location. The food truck was recovered within 6 hours of receiving instructions and recovered without incident.

Over 100 vehicles traced and repossessed.

On instructions from a receiver, we instructed our team to locate over 100 motor vehicles throughout New Zealand. Our repossession agents dealt with several “anti-social people”, despite threats and intimidation, we recovered over 80% of the motor vehicles (the balance could not be recovered due to mechanical and intentional damage).

Goal achieved! $100k deficit to zero in just under 3 months.

In less than 3 months our field team managed a finance company’s deficit of $100k to zero.
