Expert Investigators Nationwide
Our team of experienced investigators operates across all of New Zealand, providing comprehensive coverage for surveillance, background checks, fraud investigations, and more.
With expertise spanning corporate, legal, and personal investigations, we deliver accurate results with the highest level of discretion and professionalism.
We Only Hire the Best
Our staff are handpicked for their expertise and experience. Many of our investigators are former New Zealand Police Detectives who bring invaluable knowledge of investigative procedures and legal requirements.
This background ensures our investigations are conducted to the highest standards and produce evidence that can withstand legal scrutiny.
We Visit All Debtors in Person
Unlike call-center debt collectors who only make phone calls, our collections officers personally visit debtors to negotiate payment. This face-to-face approach dramatically increases recovery rates.
Each case is assigned a dedicated collections officer who works directly with debtors to find realistic payment solutions.
We Follow Through to the End
When initial collection efforts don't succeed, we don't give up. Our team can pursue litigation, enforcement of judgments, and asset seizure to recover what you're owed.
From the first demand letter through to court enforcement, we handle the complete recovery process so you can focus on running your business.
Why Choose Secure Collections?
Not a Call Center
We visit debtors in person with an assigned collections officer for each case. Personal service increases your chances of getting paid.
Government Licensed
Licensed private investigators (License 19-058815) with professional memberships in RITANZ, NZCFI, and NZICM.
Full Service

"I engaged Thomas after my young son was abducted from China and taken to NZ. After speaking to many PIs, my lawyer recommended Thomas. Thomas quickly located my son, ensured he was safe and even took his passport so he could not leave NZ.
Once a court order was granted, Thomas' team escorted me and my son to the airport. Thanks to Thomas' contacts, the Police (who had previously been unhelpful) took over once we arrived at the airport as serious threats had been made against me by the abductor.
In less than 72 hours, my son was located and was on a plane back to China.
Thomas and his team went the extra mile to ensure the safety of my son and I, and was available at anytime to reassure me."

"We experienced a significant burglary and Thomas stepped in quickly to help us identify the culprits and recover some of our stuff. He put us at ease straight away with some great advice and assigned Aaron, one of his top investigators, to our case. Essentially Aaron did all the stuff the police just don't have the time or resources to focus on.
The service from Secure Collections was professional, no-nonsense and proactive. Their expertise in surveillance and investigation helped us confirm the main suspect and gave police the evidence they needed to execute a search warrant (recovering some of our property) and secure an arrest. All too often you hear of burglaries like we experienced just being dealt with as an insurance job. The culprits get away with it and continue on without consequence.
Thanks to Secure Collections that wasn't the case for us. The offender pleaded guilty and some justice will be done. Plus our insurance company didn't have to pay out so much, so they should be thanking Secure Collections as well. Thank you Thomas and Aaron!"

"I engaged Secure Collections to serve an individual which many others could not. Thomas was able to successfully serve after carrying out his investigations and following his very well thought out plan, without delay.
His investigative skills resulted in locating significant information that assisted in serving this individual who had been avoiding being served some for time. I am also very grateful that Thomas has been available to me 24/7 on an ongoing matter.
I highly recommend Secure Collections above and beyond any other server or PI company throughout all of New Zealand and Australia. I continue to be very impressed with their work and will reach out to Thomas should I need a server for any matter in the future. I am 100% confident Thomas will be able to help any persons/company, in a swift 'no nonsense' fashion, regardless of the challenging circumstances. Thank you Secure Collections!"
