Short answer:
To qualify for debt review in South Africa, you need a monthly income that allows you to make a reasonable repayment offer to your creditors. If you are unemployed and have no other source of income—such as a salary, rental income, or pension—debt review may not be the best option at this time.
Alternative Solutions for Financial Relief
Being unemployed doesn’t mean you have no options. Debt Rescue can help you explore other solutions, including:
- Budgeting guidance to reduce expenses
- Debt counselling alternatives for those without a steady income
- Advice on negotiating with creditors directly
- Access to legal or emergency debt relief programs
Our team can guide you to the solution that best fits your current financial situation, even if full debt review isn’t immediately possible.
