The Association of Debt Recovery Agents is a National Association of Debt Collection businesses. ADRA's members include sole proprietorships, partnerships and organisations 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.
