Get Top Performance in a Credit Bureau Reporting Collection Agency.

Team building around a rocket ship

When choosing a collection agency, performance should be your number one concern.

You can’t afford to lose time while debt gets older, especially in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI where statutory limitations on litigation are only two years after the last written acknowledgement of a debt. For more than four decades MetCredit has held among the collections industry’s best success rates as the collection agency partner to leaders in a multitude of sectors from small businesses to banks, department stores, manufacturers and telecom companies. If we don’t collect, we don’t get paid—and you simply will not find a more experienced, more professional or better performing collection agency than MetCredit. We report delinquent accounts to national credit reporting agencies TransUnion, Equifax and Dun & Bradstreet as well as highly specialized industrial and regional credit bureaus. Our credit bureau partnerships are more comprehensive than any other collection agency in Canada, giving MetCredit an unmatched ability to restrict a debtor’s ability to secure further credit until the account with you is settled. Being the best-connected collection agency in the country also helps us the remain highest-performing one.

Canadians Working for You, Always in Canada

The collections industry has witnessed an alarming trend of collection agencies outsourcing their call centres overseas to maximize profits. MetCredit (originally Metropolitan Credit Adjusters Ltd.) has always proudly been a 100% Canadian-owned company, and we have seen firsthand the important role we play in driving the Canadian economy forward. Our stance against outsourcing jobs keeps hundreds of Canadians working for a top employer, and gives MetCredit a major advantage in the Canadian values we share with the people we call and the clients for whom we work.

When shopping around, it’s worth asking where a collection agency’s call centres are located. For the client, our rates are no higher—and of course you don’t pay unless we collect.

It costs you no more to hire the best—and employ hardworking Canadians.

How do I choose a collection agency?

Finding the best collection agency for your needs means looking at a range of factors: reputation, transparency and capabilities. At MetCredit, we’ve sustained an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau since 1974 (our second year in business) and welcome you to tour our call centres.

Can a small business hire a collection agency?

Some collection agencies work only with large B2C enterprises, and at MetCredit we work with some of Canada’s largest businesses in retail, financial services and telecommunications. We also work directly with startups and small businesses of every size.

How do I send an account to collections?

MetCredit has the industry’s easiest-to-use online system for our small and medium-sized customers. Once we set you up, you can quickly send accounts for collection and upload supporting files for super-fast collection.

What if a debtor won’t pay, even if it hurts their credit?

Our experienced collection officers collect the vast majority of valid debts very quickly. On rare occasions when standard recourses fail, MetCredit’s internal legal department cost-effectively takes collection files to court. While additional fees apply, this is more affordable than hiring a lawyer, and we don’t litigate without your written consent. We often work for law firms and their clients who need to collect on an existing court judgment.
