Wayne Moore10 December 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've used EC Credit Controls services for nearly 10 years now. The Terms of Trade supplied by them have saved me tens of thousands of dollars and stress over those years, I rarely have issues getting paid anymore! Probably one of the best services I have ever introduced into my business hands down! Highly recommend their services if you have trouble with those clients that have no intentions of paying, it weeds them out very quickly!
