Our team provides clear, practical, and compassionate legal advice across a wide range of areas, helping clients move forward with confidence, no matter how complex their situation may be.
Practice Areas
Credit & Consumer Law
ATO Debt Negotiation
Tax debt can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to deal with the ATO alone. We negotiate payment plans, remission of interest and penalties, settlement options, and hardship arrangements. We help clients present strong, well-documented applications and liaise directly with the ATO to achieve realistic and manageable outcomes.
Credit Repair
Your credit file affects your ability to obtain finance, buy a home, or grow a business. We assist in correcting inaccurate listings, removing unfair defaults, challenging illegal credit reporting, and resolving defective notices issued by credit providers. We handle all interactions with banks, lenders, debt collectors, and credit reporting bodies (Equifax, Illion, Experian).
Removal of Defaults
A default listing can seriously affect your financial future. We assess whether the listing is lawful under the Privacy Act and the Credit Reporting Code. If the default is incorrect, unfair, or improperly issued, we take steps to have it removed, including complaints to AFCA, OAIC, ASIC, and direct negotiation with the credit provider.
Debt Negotiation (General)
From personal loans to business finance, we negotiate directly with lenders and debt collectors to reduce balances, pause interest and negotiate waiver or remission of interest, arrange hardship terms, or settle debts for less than the claimed amount. We advocate for clients facing financial stress or unfair treatment from creditors.

100 percent recommend, I dealt with Rod at the start and he was great. But then Kim picked up my file, she was polite and super precise with everything!! Couldn't be happier with the people I dealt with!

Kim V was an absolute star and achieved the best outcome for myself and my children. I will now be able to start fresh. I will never be able to thank her enough. I highly recommend this team to anyone that needs help. Thank you, thank you!
Kristylee Marley
I highly recommend Kim Vuga and the team at KMV Lawyers. Kim assisted me while I was dealing with the Queensland childcare authority, which was a very stressful situation. She was very quick to contact me whenever needed and always communicated clearly and professionally. Although my matter is not yet closed, Kim has been incredibly caring, supportive, and knowledgeable throughout the process. Her professionalism and compassion have made a difficult time much easier to manage, and I am very grateful for her ongoing support.
Leanner & Matt
Probably one of the best legal advisors and negotiators in the market. I had a complex case, but Kim Vuga helped me by providing clear advice and negotiating on my behalf, which really got things back on track. I just want to say a massive thanks to Kim Vuga for genuinely and patiently supporting me through my case. I would definitely recommend Kim to anyone dealing with a complex matter or looking for high quality legal advice.

Kim was absolutely amazing to work with. From the very beginning she went above and beyond to help me get a default removed from my credit file. It wasn't a straightforward case, there was alot of back and forth between the finance company and the debt collection agency, and it dragged on for several months. But Kim stayed on top ot it the whole time. She was persistent, through and never backed down, even when it got frustrating. What really stood out was how much she genuinely cared, she kept me informed throughout the entire process and always made me feel like a priority. In the end, thanks to her hard work and determination, the default was successfully removed and money owing was halfed. I honestly couldn't have done it without her. If you are dealing with credit issues and need someone who will fight for you and get results.
