Debt Counselling Process | Here’s how our debt rescue plan works

The Debt Rescue Plan

The National Credit Act formally introduced Debt Counselling to assist over-indebted consumers like yourself by developing a repayment plan, which is affordable to you as well as acceptable to all your Credit Providers.

Will I lose my house or my vehicle when I am placed under Debt Review?

Debt Review cannot make you lose your home or your vehicle.

It can however save your home and vehicle, but this will obviously depend on your unique circumstances. Factors that will determine this will include the following:

Have you received a Section 129 letter from your Credit Provider, and if so, how long ago?
Have you been served with a summons in respect of your mortgage bond or vehicle finance?
How many vehicles do you have and what are they used for?
Are you giving your full cooperation in the program?

How long will it take before I start experiencing relief with Debt Review?

You will immediately experience the relief that Debt Review offers.

Within the first 5 days, we will work out a provisional repayment plan for you which you will be able to afford. In terms of the provisional repayment plan, you will make a single payment to a Payment Distribution Agency, who will distribute the money according to your plan. During the first 60 working days, your Credit Providers will not be allowed to implement action against you. During this time we will prepare your final repayment plan.

What are the costs involved with being placed under Debt Review?

Our fees are regulated by the National Credit Regulator and are very reasonable, as the idea is to get you out of debt. The fees will be explained to you in detail once you contact us. The important thing to remember here is that our fees and disbursements are included in your affordable debt repayment plan.
