ASSOCIATION OF

DEBT RECOVERY AGENTS

Association Incorporated Under Section 21 (Reg No 93/06877/08)

The voice of the Debt Collection Industry in South Africa

The Association of Debt Recovery Agents is a National Association of Debt Collection businesses. ADRA's members include sole proprietorships, partnerships and organizations ranging from one or two person offices to firms with more than 500 employees.

ADRA members handle the collection of retail, professional, bank and institutional accounts for all major credit grantors in the country.

ADRA was formed in 1988 to help collection businesses provide professional services to their clients, to establish ethical standards for the collection industry and in addition ADRA was to strive for the official recognition of the industry. This major goal was achieved in November 1998 with the passing of the Debt Collectors Act.

ADRA fills the need in the collection industry for self regulation, information and a common voice.

The Association is managed by a Board elected by members at the Annual General Meeting consisting of a President, Vice President and six to eight Board Members who attend regular meetings throughout the year.

ADRA maintains a working relationship with other related associations in the industry. Similarly it is ADRA's stated objective to liaise closely with the Debt Collectors Council to ensure that members interests are protected and enhanced.

The Association represents its members and the collection industry in developing reasonable and equitable legislation and standards. It informs members of changes in legislation and regulations and helps elected officials and government institutions understand the importance of the credit/collection business as well as the industry's needs. Such efforts emphasize that, while some regulation is desirable, a trend toward erosion of creditors' and collectors' remedies and inconsistent application of controls can harm both businesses and consumers.
