How does a debt review help you?

A debt review helps clients restructure or reduce their debt payments to their creditors. You will still pay off your debt but at lower installments.

Can your car or home get repossessed?

When you’re under debt review you’re given a certain amount of protection. Creditors are not allowed to repossess assets as long as they form part of your review. If you're following the advice of the debt counsellor and keeping up with payments creditors have no valid reasons to repossess your assets.

What happens after the debts are paid off?

Once all your debt is paid off the debt counsellor notifies the National Credit Regulator (NCR). The email specifies the details of your case and the NCR must remove your name from its registry & the credit bureau lists.

Will your debt review affect your spouse’s credit?

Quite a few factors determine how partners’ finances affect each other: -If the marriage happens after the initial debt review your spouse’s credit shouldn’t be affected. -If you’re married in community of property you legally share all assets and debt. If you're under a debt review your spouse will be too.

Will the debt review affect your home’s bond?

A debt review doesn’t affect your bond. Your bond is included in the list of creditors you need to pay.

How long does it take for the debt to be cleared?

Your debt review period depends on a number of factors: -Your income -The number of creditors you have -The total outstanding debt -The interest rates on the accounts -The percentage of rates increases When you consult with debt counsellors you’ll get a full breakdown of the process. You’ll be told what will be paid to whom and the estimated time before the process is completed.

Will you be accepted for new credit if you’re on the NCR registry?

No new credit will be approved if you're listed on the NCR registry. You’re struggling to repay current debt. No new creditor will accept the risk of not receiving payments.

Will creditors still pursue you for payments?

When under debt review your debt counsellor takes over much of the administration. But you’re bound to still receive communication from your creditors. Even though they’re informed of your review it may take time to update their systems with your repayment plan. If they keep contacting you simply inform them you’re working with a debt counsellor and when payment is scheduled.

What happens if you can't pay the debt due to an emergency or death?

When emergencies arise the debt counsellor must inform the creditors of possible problems with payments. New arrangements need to be made. All parties—the client, debt counsellor and creditor—must agree to the new terms.
