## What I'm looking for

```text
I’m looking for a credit/debt role where I can drive compliance-led recoveries, negotiate optimal settlements, and use data to reduce recovery costs—working closely with stakeholders while maintaining accurate legal and billing records.
```

## About

```text
I’m a Credit Controller (Legal) at House of Plumbing, where I rely on expertise in debt management, account reconciliation, and strategic negotiations to keep an accurate database of legal fees and attorney invoices. I execute legal debt recovery actions, prepare professional reports and recommendations for management, and manage end-to-end follow-up on payment arrangements with third parties.

Before this, I built strong foundations as a Debtors Clerk at Amka Products (Pty) Ltd (and earlier at Amka Products), resolving billing issues, validating billing data for accuracy, and monitoring overdue accounts. I also supported customers with after-sales responses, handled order processing with timeliness, sent monthly client statements and invoices, and conducted Debtors age analysis (60 to 120 days).

I bring a methodical, compliance-first approach supported by certifications in supply chain logistics and Lean Six Sigma. I assess the feasibility of ongoing recovery processes to reduce related costs, ensure alignment with the National Credit Act and relevant statutory requirements, and handle complex debt collection matters with discretion, accuracy, and analytical skill.
