Highly recommend Payam Data Recovery.

Craig was professional and extremely helpful, all of my data was recovered and I was kept informed throughout the whole process.

Don’t think twice if you have a dead drive with lost information, Craig and his team will have it restored with little fuss and at a reasonable price.

This company, Payam, is fantastic. They recovered all my data within the week and the service was impeccable. I was well informed throughout the whole process of how my job was progressing and since this was the first time I had to use this type of data recovery service this gave me peace of mind. The technician, Wes, at Payam, was very professional and his communication with me was perfect via telephone and email answering all of my questions thoroughly. I highly recommend using Payam for data recovery as my experience with this company was excellent. They turned a potential data lost nightmare into a pleasant experience, what more can you ask. Thanks guys, great job!

I was given a 2 GB Olympus memory card purchased new on eBay. Half way through a 4 week trip to the UK, the card stopped working. When we returned home, our computer couldnt read it, so we took it to Olympus to be told it was a counterfeit card. They would have nothing to do with it. We then took it to a forensic computer specialist, who also could do nothing with the card. We came across PAYAM Data Recovery Pty Ltd when doing an internet search. I took the card to the North Sydney Office and was told I would know fairly soon if the photos were recoverable. The card was sent to the Melbourne office and Mark began working on it. He kept me informed about the progress recovering the data. It took longer than originally expected, because not only was the card a forgery, it was only 1GB, not 2 which made a difference in the recovery process. I was very impressed with Marks determination to get the photos and the fact that he would not give up. The time it took was immaterial as I just wanted my photos. I was also impressed that I would be charged a flat fee for the recovery. I would not hesitate to recommend PAYAM Data Recovery Pty Ltd to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation. Kim Ker

After being quoted by a competitor almost double the price I decided to give these guys a go. Not only was I blown away by the helpful advice shown by the staff I was also relieved to hear that it was going to cost a fraction of the price original stated. These guys are the real deal! Unfortunately in this type of business there are many sharks that are eager to take advantage of people in a compromising position. I implore people to please shop around before rushing into anything and these guys for myself were by far the most helpful and best value for money. I highly recommend these people to anyone who has found themselves in the terribly difficult situation of losing valuable data.

I am surprised to see how you recover the data and the good communication provided. Initially, I though the data would lost anyway. Keep up the good work guys.

Very professional, helpful and effective. I would highly recommend their data retrieval service. They recovered all my data and provided very useful advice. A number of sources recommended Payam as the best in the business and now I know why.

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.
