Debt Review

A structured path when repayments no longer fit your life.

Debt review is a formal debt-relief process for over-indebted consumers. We help you understand the assessment, the implications and the process before you decide.

Debt review starts with affordability—not a sales promise.

A registered debt counsellor assesses income, essential living expenses and debt repayments to determine whether a consumer is over-indebted. If the process is suitable and you choose to apply, a repayment proposal can be developed and handled through the applicable legal process.

Voluntary

You must understand and consent to the application.

Formal

It is governed by the National Credit Act and its procedures.

Structured

The process works from verified affordability and qualifying debts.
