Mindy Cole

After dropping my iphone in water and then it not turning on or charging... I thought I had lost my thousand photos and contacts and everything else my life depended on with that phone. I sent it down to the guys at Payam and after only a few days I got the call to say all had been recovered! I am so grateful! Thanks again guys! appreciate it a lot

Ruthy Walsh

My HDD had crashed. I left the HDD in Payams hands expecting the worst but was pleasantly surprised when told they were able to recover all the data very quickly which included a lot of photos and Company information. Very friendly and professional staff.

Johann Kruse

Mike and the rest of the Payam team were awesome… they really saved the day when they recovered all of my baby photos/videos after both my NAS and cloud backup failed. Super happy with the service.

Larson Wolters

Required some Data from an old raid setup, the team at Payam are very helpful and efficient, kept me in the loop the whole way through the process. Great service would highly recommend!

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

When you first start researching data recovery it can be pretty scary. My external hard drive with 5 years worth of the whole family's photos and backups couldn't be read. I found Payam with a simple Google and liked both the location and testimonials. I sent some screen shots in and then gave Craig a call. Perfectly explained, no data - no charge, could give an exact quote on inspection. I took it in, gave the go-ahead and a few days later (and that was the economy service) I had an email with a list of the files recovered. I now have all of my files for about an 8th of the price of printing all the photos. The service reminded me of how great service should be. Many Thanks....

After my QNAP has stopped working I called Seagate tech support as the hard drives were made by them. They told me the only place to go in New Zealand was Payam. I'm glad I did - they got all my family photos back at a much lower price than I expected. I have already told the IT guys at my work about them.

Blair Harkness

Very happy with the service and result I received from the Auckland office of Payam. Very pleasant staff too. Fairly expensive, but a lot of time was involved, and I bought a new drive at a good price.

We have been using Payam's services for the last couple of years and have always found them to be highly professional, capable and courteous. They have helped many of our customers recover data that would otherwise have been lost and at a very competitive price. We are extremely happy with their service and wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone with hard drive problems. We anticipate using Payam for all our data recovery requirements for years to come.

Billy Lewis

Fast as, all my data back and the cheapest I could find! Also the student discount was super handy. Cheers Payam

May Lee

Excellent service! Very happy with the results. I particularly appreciated the quick 24 hr turnaround on giving me an estimate.

Sandor Kovacs

After others had a go at recovery of my hard drive but failed I was very nervous, a lifetime of memories could be lost, Payam's reputation gave me some comfort but the feeling when I saw the first line of their email gave me much elation, We have some good news for you... I guess it can't work every time but it sure worked for me where others failed. Highly recommend them to recover your treasures if you are in the unfortunate situation I found myself in.

Eric Chen

I am happy with the overall service and definitely will use again and recommend to people who need the service.

Jessica Hoffman

Having had a near panic attack when my Lacie hard drive decided to crash and burn with unknown data on it. I was very happy when guys at Payam Data Recovery said "No worries" and recovered it all. Fantastic service, highly recommended!

Rod Smith

I was happy to have my files retrieved. From the outset it was made clear that no guarantee of a successful outcome could be provided. I realised that I may have been wasting money committing to the attempt. Subsequently the data that was able to be retrieved was more than compensation for that which couldn’t. During the process I was kept adequately informed.

Shane Roberts

You guys did some recovery work for me and I would like to say thank you for your great work. The seed of your work was great and you helped me out on a great price. I would like to thank the team at reception for putting me at ease. Thank you again and I will recommend Payam Data Recovery to all that need recovery work done…….Thanks again

I recently lost all of my photos off my second internal hard drive after having a DVD drive installed in 2 of my computers by a well known company. A friend in the computer industry recommended that I take my computer directly to Payam. I went over that afternoon and spoke to Paul. He went through all the options and prices available to me for the recovery. Although I had gone late in the day, Paul rang me the next day with information on the hard drive. The previous company had not only destroyed my photos but had mixed up my hard drives and connections between the 2 computers they were dealing with. It took a while to trace back where the mix-up occurred but with Paul's help I finally figured it out and I was able to get the correct drive to him for repair. I ended up with all of my photos back and all the hard drives and connections in the right location. Payam only charged me for the recovery of the damaged disk throughout this whole complicated process. Paul then rang to make sure that I had all the correct information. Many thanks to Paul for all of his help. I always appreciate great customer service and I got it by the bucket loads at Payam.

Aaron Garozzo

Very helpful and well mannered on the phone.

Brett Vincent

We are a small computer sales and repairs shop, which uses Payam to recover data from our customers hard drives when our tools and systems cannot. Their service is professional, and the thing I really like is that they kept me informed at all stages of the recovery. Best in class service.”

Kim Kerr

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

Harry Brayshaw

I was very happy with the service provided from the free and fast assessment to the total restoration of my data on time and at a great price.

Ian Jenkins

Just to let you know that my daughter was very happy with the data retrieval from her broken USB thumb drive. She said that at least 98% of the files were OK. There were a small number that were corrupted, most likely the ones that were open at the time that the computer and USB fell on the floor.

She has now made several back-ups! and said to thank you very much. She is very grateful.

Daniel Kolic

A big thank you to Payam for recovering our two hard disk drives completely. We had a server running two mirrored SCSI hard disk drives. We thought we were protected, however both hard drives failed. We tried everything we could to recover the information but had no luck. Our last option was to get the professionals at Payam to recover the data for us and they were able to do this within 24 hours. Payam constantly kept us up to date with their progress and were extremely professional. I highly recommend their services.

Sarah M.

Very easy to deal with and very helpful staff. All my data was recovered.

Nikki Braybrook

I was really happy with your service, you not only retrieved all the lost data, you made the whole process really easy and in super quick time! I would not hesitate to recommend you.

Adrien Lang

Very happy with the service. Just keep doing what you are doing. It’s great.

Heather Donovan

Was really thrilled that Payam were able to recover all my data from my broken hard drive. This was done in a really timely manner and I would recommend this company to everyone who was in the same dilemma. Would most definitely use them again.

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.

Doug Smith

Excellent work achieved without delay.  I thank you.

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.

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.

Toby Minton

They rescued my waterlogged data in no time. Great work

THANK YOU PAYAM!!!! Our hard drive decided to crash without warning and we stood to lose 3 months worth of MYOB plus all our photos, music and personal documents. I called Payam and from start to finish they were awesome. Great customer service, a really quick process and all for a reasonable price. I called other data recovery businesses but their prices and customer service didn't stack up to Payam. I totally recommend Payam Data Recovery. THANKS AGAIN!!! You turned a very stressful situation into a manageable one 🙂

Scott E

I was told that the likelihood of even recovering my external hard drive was 20-30% from another person.......... but when I took it to Payam they told me they would try their best - and boy did they deliver - They recovered 91% of my lost data - and this was amazing considering I thought I would not have a hope in actually recovering it at all - The team at Payam were beyond Fantastic and I can't thank them enough = I will definitely be using them again if I am ever in a situation like I was.

Sean Humphrey

Amazing company, recovered all my data. Thank you.

Jan Burt

Thanks Craig Nevans at PAYAM Data Recovery Pty Ltd. I recently thought I had lost a lot of memories (photos) when the external hard drive I was using crashed. I thought I had backed up the photos but when I looked to find the backups I realised that they were not there. I was completely devastated, I thought I had lost the photos of grandchildren, friends, holidays. Hundreds of memories and photos that could not be replaced. I searched the web and found PAYAM in Melbourne. With my hard drive in hand, my husband, daughter and I drove to Melbourne. There at PAYAM we were greeted by the most wonderful person Craig Nevans, the customer service manager. Straight away Craig set our minds at ease, he was sympathetic,very supportive and completely understood our plight. Craig was wonderful to deal with. He didn't promise the world or that he could recover the data, however we went back home feeling very positive. As promised Craig emailed a few days later, they could recover the data at a very affordable price. A second email followed in a few days to advise they had recovered the data and they would, if we liked, ship the recovered data back to us on a well priced new hard drive, thus avoiding another trip to Melbourne. We were ecstatic to receive this email. I have no hesitation in recommending PAYAM to anyone looking for data recovery. They are the best in their field and wonderful people. If your hard drive crashes, don't panic contact PAYAM and talk to Craig and the team. Thanks again Craig

Peter Juniper.

Your service was excellent and I couldn’t fault it. Communication, pricing and the processing timing was made very clear and reiterated a number of times. My dead mobile phone was processed surprisingly quickly and the data I wanted to retrieve was recovered.

Matthew Perovic

Great service and fast. High success rate on recoveries!

Teddy Clune

When I first realized that I had lost all of my photos on the camera memory card I was devastated. Payam Data recovery were professional, fast and delivered exactly what they said and more. I have been telling all my friend about this service.

Ella

All my personal & work files (6 years worth) were all on my external hard drive, that is until my partner accidentally dropped it. When I went to use it I was not able to read, copy, delete or add files, plus the hard drive was making strange noises which I knew was not good news. I did some research on data recovery companies and called five in Melbourne, PAYAM had the best price and was conveniently located it was also a company whose brand I recognised. Craig was not only able to save 98% of my data but he also kindly spent time explaining everything I needed to know about external hard drives, backup drives etc. – our chat at his office lasted an hour and gave me plenty of useful information to ensure I did not lose my data again. I now have two external hard drives, one which I use regularly and one purely as my backup. Thank you Craig for your exceptional customer service and for saving all my data. Cheers

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!
