Customer's Reviews and Testimonials

Here are many more testimonials from our past clients

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.

Amanda Barnes

Paolo and Vinh at Payam were amazing. Not only is their skill amazing but their customer service is 2nd to none! I delivered them my water damaged iphone with precious photos from a recent trip, and within a few days they called with good news they'd been able to recover my data. The best thing is how easy they make it. They provided me with a USB with all my files, but also an iTunes Backup file which I easily restored to my new phone with a little help on the phone from AppleCare. Thanks guys I'll definitely be recommending you to anyone who finds themselves in my position. Cheers

Michael Payne

I am writing to tell you how satisfied I am with the service that you and PAYAM provided.

As you may remember, I had a WD Passport drive that had archived mail files, presentations and documents stored on it.  The drive died during a trip overseas and I was desperate to recover the information. I found your advertisement on the internet and also found some independent references on other forums and blogs as to the quality of work that PAYAM was able to provide.

Costing was visible, nothing was hidden.

From the first phone call contact, to the final pickup, PAYAM provided exemplary service and support.  Email replies were fast, and the phone support was excellent - Craig Nevans is an excellent resource and a real asset in critical situations like this where communication is vital.

At all times I knew the situation with the recovery and the process.  Despite the possibility that the information would not be able to be recovered, you were able to retrieve the documents and mail files and so I am able to maintain my archives and so avoid a significant amount of work and also heart-ache when trying to look for older information.

I would recommend PAYAM to anyone in a similar situation who needs honest, professional cost effective service and support. Thank you again.

Craig Lawton

This data recovery completed was for our business’s server. So far it appears to have been 100% successful. Many thanks for saving us months of recovery time.

Bruce Real

It was with great relief that Payam Data Recovery were able to recover in excess of 95% of the data on my hard drive. I opted for the cheaper method of waiting but I was impressed with the service given.

Tony Robbis

Clear, thorough and friendly communication throughout the process. They listened carefully to my needs and successfully recovered data for the lowest cost possible and in good time. Very impressive service.

James Barret

I was quoted almost $2k, told parts needed replacing and it would take 4 weeks. Luckily I found Payam! They were a quarter of the price, nothing needed replacing and they were time efficient. These guys saved our business. I would definitely recommend!

Claire Sterling

Highly recommended. Their service is excellent. They were able to recover all of the 'lost' data and on top of that they were able to do it in a very fast timeframe. Thank you so much and we would highly recommend your services.

Geofdecan

Great service and end result using wes at Payam. Will recommend and use again if needed!

Sarah Ashley

I can't recommend Payam Data Recovery highly enough. They recovered most of my data from a broken memory card that was in the worst possible condition. In fact, it crumbled when I handed it to Vinh, who straight away reassured me there was hope. And to my amazement, 99% of my photos were recovered a few weeks later. So, anyone out there who is panicking, don't stress, till you visit these guys. I also want to mention the wonderful service I received from Vinh, who called and emailed me regularly to give me up dates, as to where he and his team were at, in regards to recovering my data. Thank you so much, to Vinh, and all the wonderful staff at Payam.

My external hard drive simply died, along with about 2 years worth of family photos and some work related records. Found PAYAM on the net. Was impressed by the testimonials. They recovered all of the data without a problem. Easy!! Perhaps more so, however, it is great to know PAYAM exist so that if I have similar issues in the future I am covered. Richard Andrew

Marco Albrecht

Very happy with the service!

Ian Mansell

Amazing service from start to end. My drive data was saved! Payam held onto the drive whist I was on holiday, then followed with a call to arrange suitable delivery on my return. I wish all companies were like this.

Callie Smallwood

I was extremely happy with the work you completed recently! You were able to recover all my work, photos, music and everything I had asked for,  also, every staff member I encounter was very polite and helpful, I will definitely recommend Payam Data Recovery to friends and family

MartyKuk

I recover data myself but NOWHERE to the that this company does. These people know exactly what they're doing. Hard drive failed when accidentally knocked it off table. Drive was cycle clicking and trying to be read. Went onto the official seagate website for a data recovery service. The ONLY Company it found as the official data recovery experts was payam. Payam have just recovered 100% of my data with the exact same folder/file structure with everything as the way it was. How they did it is beyond me but fascinates me and would love to learn what these guys do. Thanks so much again and will recommend any customers drive I would be unable to fix myself.

Karl May

I was in tears when my USB flash drive snapped in half. Another data recovery company had it for 3 days and said it could not be recovered. Payam Data Recovery told me they recovered it using a chip off method that not many other places could do in the world. I believed them as i got all of my data back about 5 days later. I hope i never need data recovery again but i would definitely recommend Payam data recovery.

Julio G.

We recently had both our Primary and backup data storage devices dine in the same week, Payam were quick, professional, communicated clearly and stuck to time frames, couldn't have had a better experience.

Shane Crawford

I was most impressed with the customer service, the professionalism, knowledge, and the training and education provided by Kevin Harris.

“Kevin me immediately, listened to my problem, advised generally what the problem could be, and the possible difficulties that I could face. Kevin understood my urgency and how it important it was to our business that the data be retrieved.

Kevin, immediately set about identifying the problem, which he did in approximately 10 minutes and explained the process and procedure that was necessary to attempt to retrieve our information. Kevin, is very knowledgeable and was most communicative and really helpful. He also explained how hard drives work, how to protect use them correctly. We had a 100% successful data recovery and I cannot explain how delighted and impressed I am.

The job was completed within a very short time frame and I was kept abreast of all developments all the way through. I will be looking to purchase another hard drive shortly, and will now only deal with Payam Data Recovery. I had a fantastic customer service experience with Kevin who is simply excellent at what he does.

Jamie Dela Rosa

I was very satisfied with the job that you guys did. It was quick, easy, helpful and accommodating. As a full-time student, I greatly appreciated the plan of payment I was put on that was offered to All my files were recovered from my drive and I can’t really be any happier. Thank you.

Kircy Jong

The service was extremely reliable and took the time to explain the problem as well as the solution. Very accommodating and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

ljsbradley

My hard drive with all my important personal photos and videos just didn't boot up one day when I plugged it in, so I took it to a small computer shop a friend said did data recovery quite cheap, I thought if they had no luck I'd go to one of the bigger places. BAD IDEA! The first place couldn't recover anything and said most likely all my data was lost and as a last resort I could try Payam Data Recovery as they were the best. When I took it to Payam and saw Paolo, it turned out the first place I'd tried had actually damaged my drive further! I was devastated, expecting there was no chance of recovery. Within 10 days Paolo rang me back to let me know they had recovered everything! AMAZING! I was thrilled. I doubt many other places could've have done the job they did, they are the professionals, you can trust that they will do the best job possible. Paolo was great to deal with and I can't thank you all enough!! It's very obvious to me now to always go to the best place first and not the cheaper option. It's just not worth it. If your data is important to you - go to these guys!

Many thanks for retrieving all photos deleted from an external hard drive. Your staff were calm and efficient in the face of great angst and retrieved a lifetime of memories. Thank you so much!

I have worked as an IT Support technician for over 10 years. I have often been able to recover data for clients. If the drive is able to spin up I can often get data off. But not this time! This drive just crashed with no warning, no slow writes and reads. Just bang and gone. Since the drive contained varieties of information in various states of backup, it was commercially important to try and recover it. The guys at Payam worked their magic and recovered as far as we can tell all 240 GB of files. Payam now provides me with another option for clients who must have that data back. Very professional, very helpful.

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.

Maggie Sharp

The relief of hearing the news that most of my data had been recovered was huge! To potentially have lost the first three years worth of photographs of my children's life was heartbreaking but thank god, these guys managed to save it and I'm so grateful! Super professional and lovely customer service. I felt I was in good hands and I really appreciated the regular updates on how the work was progressing. Warmly recommend Payam!

Rebecca Harrison

I cannot recommend Payam's services highly enough. Lachlan and the team were so helpful, clearly explaining the data recovery process, the costs involved, and managing my expectations every step of the way. The result? The complete recovery of data from an iPhone with a cracked screen that had spent a not inconsiderable amount of time at the bottom of a pool! Thank you so much, Payam

After my laptop suffered death by drowning I was scared that I had lost all my work files. Advertisements, stock control forms, rosters, financial records, everything was kept on there. A family member recommended PAYAM as they had done some work for him and he was very impressed. I went In and spoke the them and they had a look for me. That day I had a response that they could get my data back no problems, and for a great price. Their service was very prompt and professional with clear communication throughout the whole operation.I definitely recommend PAYAM for data recovery services and they will be the first that I turn to if it ever happens again. Thanks guys.

Craig Gill

Payam did what I needed in good time and with good communication.  Thank you.

Melanie Becker

I think you did a fabulous job – keep up the good work!

Diane Pain

I lost very sentimental photos due to a corrupt card. I was quoted $800.00 to recover them by the other data recovery company. Payam did it for 1/4 the price, I couldn't believe it. They were easy to deal with, kept in constant contact so I knew exactly what was going on, and got the disk to me very quickly. Yay, I thought I might never get those photos back, I'm overjoyed. Thanks guys. If I need help with business data recovery I know where I will be going.

Stuart Morley

Thank you for the excellent work. You had saved my all data from being lost.

Alex Giangrasso

Recovered data from my water damaged (destroyed) Samsung Galaxy S6 3 weeks after the damage occurred. Amazing service

Karen Boulton-Welc

I was devastated when my local computer shop told me they could not recover the contents of my External HDD. They could ghost it, but couldn't get the files to open. The young fellow in the shop, after much research myself, gave me PAYAM's web address and I contacted them in their Sydney office. (much cheaper than everyone else I contacted) They got all of my files back except 1. How good is that....... Would definitely recommend them to anyone with Drive problems!

Tammy Tattam

When my hard drive died I thought I had lost everything but Payam Data Recovery, recovered & saved my stuff very grateful

Jessica

After spending a lot of time researching the internet on how I could recover data from my Samsung Galaxy phone I come across Payam. Payam received my phone on Wednesday and on Friday I had a call telling me they had recovered my data. I felt like crying at this moment as I was so overwhelmed. I could not have been happier with the service and it was worth every cent been able to get back my Childs baby photos back! Would recommend Payam to everyone 🙂 Thank you Payam

Angus Keenan

Great customer service, and work time. When my sever crashed and looked to have lost my thousands of hours worth of work... They worked their magic and got 100% of my files back! Highly recommended! Great start to the week!!

Lynette Lamont

Fantastic service - very professional, helpful and friendly ... and they retrieved my data!!!

Payam is a magician! My network (along with my attached hard drive) got fried in a storm whilst I was away on holidays. I consulted friends that worked in IT and even paid a computer store check my hard drive out and they told me that I'd have to pay them again for a quote to have it looked at by a forensic mob. I did my own investigative work and found Payam through Google. I read all the other reviews, checked out the website and compared it to others I had found. I even mystery shopped several companies by calling over the phone and asking Qs about their services and costs to recover the data. I chose to use Payam and I agree with the professionalism and response times reported in the previous reviews. In the end I got my data and photos copied onto a new hard drive and it cost much less than what some other companies were quoting (try $1K + interstate registered postage!). I can't thank Payam and his team enough and thoroughly recommend them for data recovery services (although I hope not to have to go through the experience again!). Extremely happy 🙂

AraKia

I dropped my hard drive and it stopped working, it had all my photos and important back ups on there, I sent it to a data recovery company who spent 3 days on it and said they could not find anything on there and that my data was gone!!! not wanting to accept this I found Payam Data recovery and sent it to them, they were able to diagnose why my drive was showing no data and bypass the encryption in a way that allowed them to get the data off they managed to save everything which was a massive relief to me and my partner! the staff where professional and courteous at all times and sensitive to the stress full situation I was in, I will forever be in debt to them for the work they did!

Greg Humphries

Great service retrieved photos from birth of our twins, saved my life.

Alex Okill

I had a burned out board on my desktop hard drive with 60Gb of data - they managed to repair the board and transfer to the data to my external drive and didn't do anything with the old drive until had confirmed that it was safe to do so.

I opted for the "economy" service which took around 3 weeks, however that was over the Christmas period too. Great service.

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

James Bomalick

Your service were second to none and I couldn't be happier. I hope I don't need your services in the future, but in any case, I wouldn't hesitate to return and to recommend to other people. Keep it up!

“My network attached storage recently ceased to be accessible. Among other things it held my iTunes music library and the thought of having to rip all those CDs again was not at all appealing! After spending some time troubleshooting the problem with the manufacturer, they referred me to Payam. The service was friendly and professional and in a matter of days my data was recovered. Their post recovery follow up was also first class in making sure that all was in order and my system was back up to speed.

Noel Reyes

My wife and I were extremely happy with your service and with the results. Both staff members we dealt with were friendly and very informative. We were given an honest appraisal of the work required and even an option to suit our budget. That you were able to recover the data we wanted most made the experience all the more worthwhile.

Aya Yamashita

I was super happy about my data recovery being done early this year. Kevin was very helpful and gave me a lot of advice. Thank you so much!

Neil Robertson

Very happy with the service and end result.

I used to work in IT. I'm the guy people (still) come to when they lose their data. I recently did a wedding on a professional SLR, recorded to a compact flash card (very reliable). Somehow, I managed to corrupt my FAT32 partition and corrupt the entire card. I only know that because PAYAM told me. I thought I had busted the hardware - the electronic internals. PAYAM are an honest company, no doubt about it. They charged very, very reasonably considering my circumstances, and they got onto the job faster than they had to. My data was successfully recovered, and my client did not even need to know I had an issue. My reputation is safe because of this company. Rock on.

Devyani Rangnekar

I was highly impressed with the prompt and efficient service provided by PAYAM. I received updates from the consultant I dealt with exactly when I was told I would. My USB flash drive stopped working and I was at risk of either losing a great deal of personal and work data, or paying exorbitant sums of money in order to recover it. In comparison to a lot of other quotes that I got PAYAM was reasonable and I got all my data back. I highly recommend their services.

Krecs

Excellent personal customer service. Fixed my 1Tb hard drive quickly, and explained the whole process. If I ever have recovery issues again this will be the guys that I would deal with.

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.

I just received the email from Payam about the recovery files of my very old external hardrive. I am literally in happy tears watching the preview video of my recovered folders and files. I'm talking old samsung files, sanyo digital camera files, old pc files, all my old pictures, videos my whole youth basically. I'm still crying as I write this and although I haven't received my hard drive back they have advised that about 49,000 of my files have been recovered. I can't begin to explain how grateful I am. The price paid to this team is worth every penny. These memories are priceless and I am beyond happy and grateful. Thank you thank you thank you! Back up your hardrives people, get them onto the cloud, have backups of backups because the pain or thought of losing them is not worth it, which I pretty much did due to damaged heads on the hardrive. I can't wait to reunite with my pictures and videos 🙂 🙂 🙂 thank you again team!
