You get told and told everyday you should back up! yeah yeah my computers fine it wont happen to me. WRONG!!!! 6 years of family photos videos 1000's mp3, 100's emails, word docs etc all gone. The guys at Payam were amazingly confident they could get most of it back and they did and then some. Thank You Payam

Kent Driver

Before dealing with your company I was under the impression that data recovery is a very expensive and troublesome experience to be avoided at all costs. I was referred to you by my IT person, who gave a good report from a previous experience of referring a customer. After receiving an outline of your services I was pleased to discover you offer a range of levels of cost v timeline, so I was able to choose something that met my needs and budget. I was then impressed with the level of service and communication throughout the process. I will not hesitate to recommend you should I come across anyone needing similar help in recovering data. Thank you.

Jye

I was very impressed with the service you offered - and in particular your communication throughout the process. You did a great job and recovered all the data from a few drives of valuable information at a price that pales in comparison to the value of the data recovered.

David Kinder

I found that the service I received was better than expected. In fact, it was exceptional. I will certainly recommend you to anyone who may require this service.

Referred to Payam by Streetwise Mac Computer reseller with my HDD failure, and my crucial data with multimedia files was not backed up....... I found the Melbourne Manager Mark Gazzola very friendly, efficient and prompt in his service. Payam initially responded very quickly by email to my website query, and directed me to the St Kilda Rd Office for HDD drop-off. Phone follow-up to me was within 24 hours, and when I visited Payam's office, the matter was solved rapidly and Mark Gazzola showed me how to access the HDD to enable restoration, all at no charge!! Mark was even pro-active in prevention by suggesting that I organise at least duplicate external HDD back-ups, with both on and off-site storage. Great advice. Highly recommended for data recovery, and thanks again Mark and Payam.

Tori Keegan

Great service and work! Quick to respond to emails and with the recovery of my data off my hard drive. Would highly recommend and use again

Amy Mault

The server we use to store all our small business files blew up and Payam were able to do a full data recovery. They were fast, professional and communicated clearly throughout the process. Highly recommended.

Ook Tong

Because of this company, I was able to retrieve priceless videos & photos from my iPhone 5S, which was damaged from salt water contact. I took it to them several months after the water incident and they were still able to recover everything. Their service was top notch and I'd highly recommend their service!

Alison Wong

AMAZING. I was devastated after I was told by other phone shop/s that data was irrecoverable on my phone (3 years of un-backed up memories right there). I wasn't in a rush (2-3 week expected) but I got a call back from Lachlan in 2 days saying it was all restored successfully. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! You guys are amazing

Sandy McManus

I was referred to PAYAM Data Recovery by my IT contact and I admit to being delighted with the service and the turnaround time that I experienced with PAYAM. We were quite frantic when we lost our data and our back-up. We have had this occur once before and with a less than satisfactory outcome provided by the previous data recovery company, I was very anxious. I spoke with Payam himself initially and then continued through the data recovery process with the professional assistance of Paolo Bileci.

Paolo was terrific. He kept me informed, he reassured me with his expert knowledge of what needed to be done. Paolo worked to my budget and gave constant, excellent customer service and feedback, throughout the experience. I collected 100% of our data and walked away with the absolute confidence that I would use PAYAM Data Recovery again if the need arose again. I can confidently recommend their services to anyone in need of data recovery experts! Thanks Paolo for turning my anxiety into a smile at an affordable price

I recently lost important data on an external hard drive. I was referred to Payam by my IT department. They had no prior experience of them but sent me their contact details based on website information. I received prompt and kind service. I was listened to carefully, given realistic expectations of the recovery outcome and shown empathy in relation to my frustration. The parking and access facilitated the speedy service. I did not see anyone dressed like the image in the website. I experienced a highly professional service. Strongly recommend.

The details for PAYAM were forwarded to me after my hard drive had crashed on my Sony Vaio workhorse. I took it to Craig at PAYAM and inside two weeks, they had found everything. It was super! It was appreciated and the money it cost, was worthwhile.....more than worthwhile. Thank you very, very much!!!

Our memory card decided to pack it in right at the end of our overseas holiday :S, so we tried an unnamed data recovery company who wanted several hundred $ just to attempt the recovery! We took it to Payam and we had the data recovered,copied to a huge 32gb usb and back to us in 3days for less than 1/2 of what the other place wanted! The service was top notch and we were even given a discount because we were told our card recovery was impossible, turned out the bad news was for another customer. They recovered as much as they possibly could with our seriously stuffed card, and the overall service was much better then I would have expected.

Predecessor firm supplied my drive; on data loss they came up in a search online and responded to the enquiry with a competitive price. Supplied replacement drive and recovered data to it.

Albert Spickler

Excellent service and in a timely manner - i.e. straight away. I would recommend these guys to anyone and I would definitely use them again should the need aver arise again which I hope never does!

Jenny Stern

I highly recommend Payam Data Recovery. My iphone was 100% dead, I tried every possible process to wake it up and had been advised by a number of technicians that it was close to impossible to retrieve any data - Payam Data Recovery were successful. Thank you

(Name withheld)

Very happy with Payam service. I opted for economy option as I didn’t have any rush with recovery. What I liked most is the continuous updates on the status of data recovery. But the most important is the final result, almost everything was recovered.

Karl Balian

Hi, i was extremely happy, you recovered all of the videos from our MacBook and especially the one we thought we had lost, a very special and funny video of our son. Priceless!

Kathy Perry

The staff was very good and understanding.

Vinny Chan

Excellent fast and friendly help - life saving!

Victoria – Melbourne

A great service. We had told by another place (who had been otherwise really helpful at repairing the computer) that they could not retrieve the data. Craig at Payam not only recovered it all but then was so helpful at helping us reload it onto our new system. Very grateful for their service.

Sarah Hidayati

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.

Ash Sydney

I was devastated when my local computer shop told me they could not recover the contents of my USB. It had picked up a virus the one and only time I had used it while travelling overseas and I was told I had lost all of the precious holiday photos that were on there.

A friend recommended I try and take the USB to someone who specialises in data recovery and that is the best advice I have ever taken! Paolo rang me within 24 hours of receiving my USB to tell me the good news. I could not believe he had saved them all, and for such a good price!

The professionalism and quality of service they provide is fantastic. I would recommend them as the first point of call to anyone who is serious about recovering their data.

Su Johnson

Very happy with Payam’s services. Tried the local IT shop, useless! Next time will go straight to Payam.

Tim Knaggs

Vinh & Paolo, a big thank you for recovering all my data lost when my iPhone tried to swim recently. Having no recent backup I was bereft until meeting you. I could not believe your promptness nor that I had so much data hanging in space. You are professional at Payam. Long after the cost is forgotten I have all the information crucial to my existence. Thank you. Tim

Gary Phau

Super Service! The team managed to recover ALL of the data on my two hard drives which crashed simultaneously on one weekend. Some of the data was precious photos which are irreplaceable.

Was kept up to date on what was happening and the data was recovered within the timeframe promised. The cost was very reasonable and I'm happy with every part of the process. Well done to Mark and Craig for your excellent service and professionalism - I can and will definitely be recommending your services!

Emilyy_246

I can not thank these guys enough!! i was travelling overseas with a group of friends taking photos on my iphone. Sadly one of my friends lost his life overseas and on the second last day my iphone hardware malfunctioned and my phone turned into a brick, losing all our memories. i went to a shop who said it wasn't their problem and i will never get my data back. THANKFULLY for the team at PAYAM Data recovery i was able to get back all of my pictures and nearly all the data was recovered from my phone. meant so much to me, such as lovely company always kept me up to date.

James McIvor

Payam was recommended by Apple and I was thoroughly satisfied with the service and outcome. I was able to recover my precious memories at a reasonable price

Patrcia Hall

I just want to thank the Payam team. You guys really took the time to recover all files from my faulty hard drive which has5 years worth of work on it. You recovered almost all of it and I couldn't be more happy. You kept in contact and always informed me what was going to happen. You guys are amazing, service is amazing! Highly recommended. Thanks again!

Everything is taken

Awesome service and great people. Thanks Paolo.

Joanne Hansen

I am happy to say that Payam saved the day for me and I would recommend them anytime. They managed to retrieve data from a broken hard drive from my new video camera which stopped working half way through my son's international sporting competition and o/s holiday. I was told by others it probably could not be done but Payam managed to get most of it off for me. They were extremely efficient and kept in contact with me even after I had the recovery disc to make sure it was OK.

drli

I suddenly encountered a problem with my portable HDD which became inaccessible. I have more than 500GB very important data on it. Thanks to the help from Payam Data Recovery, I finally got all my data back. This is really professional service with perfect output. I'm very satisfied.

Stephen Brewer

Successfully unlocked my old HTC phone. So happy old photos were recovered. Service is very quick and price is reasonable. Will definitely use your company again when needed.

Peter Macallef

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

Caryn C.

Lost photos of a holiday broke my daughter's heart. I formatted the picture card thinking the photos were on her computer. I was given Payam's number and Kevin retrieved the photos. Kevin was so professional and caring. Thank you so much.

Lloyd Doddridge

I was rapt with your service and the results. The recovered material is essential to my son’s university course and we were most appreciative both of the results and the reasonable cost of the service provided.

got all our business' data back - yay! can't ask for more than that.

Vinnie McDonald

I was very happy with both the service and end result.You kept me informed the whole way and I was lucky you could retrieve most of my photos,which had much sentimental value.I feel you do a great job, the only thing I wished I could change was the price, but at least I could split it

Daniel Matotek

Quality service center, it can be extremely expensive but if you are a business, use no other place these guys are true professionals

I had a 1TB HDD with Music and 10 years worth of photo's...the loss would have been devastating.  I took the HDD to PAYAM and a day later all my data was recovered.  Great service and eager to please.   *** Thank You ***

Elizabeth Whittle

Great. They helped me out of a spot and were nice to deal with.

Donna Bonnel

They did a great job recovering all my files. What a relief!! Very glad I found Payam. Happy Customer 🙂

Vaughan Chitty

Thank you, I am extremely happy with the data recovery work. I had tried two other computer repair places but neither was able to recover any of my data, Payam recovered the whole hard drive – very very grateful

Andrew

Upon discovering Payam online, and experiencing issues with the manufacturer of the external hard drive, I was reluctant that the data on my device would ever be recovered.

Payam took the time to explain step by step the process, and showed visibility the whole way through.

A special thank you to Lachlan and Keith for all their help and assistance.

I have no trouble in recommending Payam to anyone that has a faulty device and is in need of recovering the valuable data.

Ashley Moghari

I lost all my family photos on my external HD that just died. Payam were so great with communication as I live 4 hours away and had to post it to them. They recovered all my lost photos, very quickly which was great as we were so nervous to think the photos were gone. Very professional service too. Thanks again

Hkang

Coming back home from an overseas conference trip, the last thing I needed was to be greeted by a non-starting desktop. I was desperate to recover my data, especially my 'just-completed' tax return information! PAYAM was recommended by my local IT repair shop as well as by the work IT personnel. It was worth every penny! Service was excellent - fast (within a week), professional and complete (all data was recovered). I highly recommend PAYAM to anyone whose data may have been deemed 'unrecoverable' by other IT service providers.

Katherine Wall

Very happy with the service, especially as I was so stressed! Payam were able to recover everything I had lost and even got my Time Machine working again so I could restore everything back onto my computer. Thanks

Kalvin Dever

We recently had a disk turn faulty in our 4 Tb striped raid storage.   Consequently, we faced loosing all the data, some of which was irreplaceable.  I found Payam after a Google search and some phone calls to other storage recovery service providers.  Payam was the only one who understood the importance of the data to us.  I sent the whole device to him and could not be happier with the service.  It was fantastic.  He gave me a quote with different options including timeframes from which I could choose – and then he met them.  I guess the ultimate endorsement is that I have sent a second disk with faulty heads to Payam to have the data recovered.   If you need data recovered and customer service is important to you then give Payam a call.

Jerry

When my HDD failed I was in shock thinking “that didn’t just happen, did it?” Everything I thought was worth keeping for the past 10 years was on that Drive.  The guys at the local PC store couldn’t even read the drive, saying “it has some big problems” & suggested I give the guys at PAYAM a call & send them my HDD.  Glad I did! I now have all my data back without losing anything.  Payams communication & personalised service was excellent. If you have any HDD problems these are definitely the guys to call!

Vinny Corey

What looked like a hopeless case when strip hard drives failed, was turned around, and for a reasonable price all data was recovered - well over 200 GB. Well done!

Sending a hard drive with physical damage to attempt data recovery of a number of important files. They were completely successful in recovery of the requested data. And even before the job began were able to answer questions pertaining to their process and job information.

And excellent and fast service with amazing communication.

Highly recommended for your similar needs.

Wife's phone died without any warning and she had not had time backup photos. Luckily Payam were able to recover them all. Not the cheapest service, but what price can you put on memories? They retrieved 27GB of data, over 14,000 photos and 250 videos. Made a very happy wife when she got the backup drive Christmas morning. Staff were very polite.
Only one very small area of improvement for them would be to provide a little more comms. We chose the Economy Service (1-2 weeks) that took 3.5 weeks. Acknowledging that website states times subject to change, however there was no comms from them, it was only when I chased status updates.

Cannot recommend and thank the team at Payam enough. They restored a damaged hard drive of mine that contained so many previous photos of my family and friends. They were totally transparent with the process and managed my expectations well. Great customer service , cannot fault them. Thanks so much team
