From first call to debt-free — the full process

Seven steps, handled by registered debt counsellors and attorneys, from your first confidential call through to a court-confirmed repayment plan.

1

Free consultation & assessment

Call 087 150 3823 or complete our online form. A consultant runs a highly confidential, free financial assessment to confirm whether you qualify for debt review.

2

Complete your application (Form 16)

If you’re approved, we help you complete the official application form over the phone. Once signed and returned, you receive instant protection.

3

Creditors are notified

As soon as we receive your signed form, we immediately notify all your creditors of your debt review application — triggering your protection under the National Credit Act.

4

We negotiate your new payment plan

We request loan confirmations from every creditor, negotiate improved interest rates where possible, and restructure your repayments based on what you can actually afford.

5

One single monthly payment

You make one consolidated monthly instalment through an NCR-accredited Payment Distribution Agency (PDA), which distributes the funds to each of your creditors.

6

Court order confirms your plan

Our nominated attorneys apply to the Magistrate’s Court to have your restructured plan converted into a binding court order — you don’t need to appear.

7

Your debt is resolved

You follow your restructured plan through to completion, then receive a clearance certificate and can re-enter the credit market with no permanent record.

What to expect, timing-wise

How fast is fast?

Within 5 days

A provisional restructured payment plan is typically developed within five working days of your application.

First 60 working days

Your credit providers are not permitted to take any legal action against you during this initial protection window.

Ongoing

Creditors must communicate with your debt counsellor from that point on — not with you directly.

How it works

We start by reviewing all your current credit commitments, including personal loans, credit cards, retail accounts, vehicle finance and your bond. From there, we work with your credit providers to restructure your repayments and negotiate better terms and interest rates where possible.

The goal is simple. One reduced monthly payment that you can actually afford, while still leaving you with enough money to cover your essential living expenses.

If you are struggling to keep up right now, it may feel overwhelming, but there is a way forward. With the right structure in place, you can regain control of your finances and work towards becoming debt free.
