Payam recovered important data from a remote research expedition when an SD card split in 2. No other data recovery service were able to recover the data and Payam persevered for months until they were successful. We are very grateful and pleased.

The North Sydney branch retrieved some valuable data that was extremely important from a CF card. It was a hardware/circuit issue so I Got told 3 quotes and depending on the problem it would be anywhere between $220 – $700+

I was ready for worst case scenario and wouldn’t have know any better so they could have said $700+ and u would have paid no questions but they were honest and told me it was a minor hardware issue and charged the minimum $220.

In addition from ongoing correspondence via phone and email, what really impressed me was their honestly and genuinely wanting to help.

Would definitely go back (fingers crossed I won’t need to) but it’s got to know there are pro’s out there who can help in a what seems like a useless situation.

After the death of my daughter, I had been all over Sydney and QLD to find someone who could recover the photos of my precious girl. The service I received was phenomenal and I would recommend them to anyone.

Payam really delivered exceptional service in what was a very critical situation for me. A lifetime of photos were gone as were all my accounting records. They retrieved all my data in a timely manner with professionalism. Highly recommend! A++++!!

Dear Wes, During our latest visit to Vietnam and Cambodia I made the fatal mistake of carrying out a request from my Tablet to format my SD card I mistakenly thought that did not affect my CF card. Unfortunately it did and I lost at least 1 day of photographs taken in Saigon. I asked various people if they could be retrieved only to be told by most people it could not be done. However a salesperson at Harvey Norman, Yes there, told me not all was lost as long as I had not done anything with the card but they could not do it nor would he suggest anyone. After some research I found Payam on a google search and with an office in Adelaide I thought why not give it a try. I spoke with Wes and although he would at the time not give me a guarantee he would look at it and let me know what he found. He did so early next day, including a print to show me. I gave him the go ahead and within days I had all my photos back, both Raw and JPG files. The thing that most impressed me was the fact that if I was not 100% happy with the result Payam would not charge me. How good is that!
Thank you Wes Hliniak, Thank you Payam, you both saved me a trip back to Saigon. Come to think of it?
Kind Regards
Henk de Weerd Nairne

Excellent service, kept me up to date along the process. Absolutely no pressure to pay unless satisfied. I had wiped nearly 1000’s photos from my Eurotrip and they were able to recover the majority.. very glad I decided to get their help.

The one thing that I valued most in my business life has been Customer Service. The customer service I received from Lachlan was extremely good, I knew what was happening at all times and the retrieval of my Photos was the highest priority and successfully achieved

Frequently asked questions

In all data recovery cases, success is not guaranteed. When we provide you your obligation free quote we will give you an idea of your success chances based on past recoveries that are similar to yours. Rest assured that when you use Payam Data Recovery, you have the highest chance of success!
 
If you have performed a quick format on the memory card through your computer and have NOT written any data to the card since the format, the chances of getting data back are good. If you write data to the card after the format, that is when the previous data will start to be overwritten which significantly lowers your success chances.
We have had many cases where we have successfully recovered data from memory cards that were formatted through a camera/phone. The success of this type of recovery is very case by case. We have learnt that some cameras and phones perform a secure erase on the card when the formatting occurs. If a secure format has occurred, recovery is normally not possible. We do our best to identify if recovery of the card is worth attempting during the free assessment period.
The general rule with deleted data is that the deleted data is still on the card until new files have been written to the card. Writing new files to the card overwrites the previous data. There is still a chance that we may be able to recover some previous data for you, but the success of this type of case comes down to how many new files have been written to the card.
