How to choose a good debt counsellor

Debt Review Centre Services

The most obvious reason to choose debt counselling is that your creditors will be unable to take action against you, potentially saving any assets that you may have. It also helps you reduce the total amount that you pay towards debts.

Debt counselling is regulated by the National Credit Act and, the fees that a debt counselling agency can charge you are also regulated. You can, therefore, rest assured that you are protected in all respects.

Here is a list of debt counselling benefits

  • Reduce amounts owed to various creditors with lower interest rates
  • You no longer have to deal with your creditors
  • Your repayments are structured to allow you more breathing room to cover living expenses
  • There will be a set date on which your debts will be repaid
  • Benefit from lower credit life insurance premiums
  • Rest assured that, given time and commitment, you'll become debt free
  • You only have to make one monthly instalment
  • Your assets are protected

Apply for debt counselling online with DRC

Debt Review Centre offer you access to their quick and simple online debt review application form.

This five-step form has been designed to gather all of the relevant information that your debt counsellor will need to determine the following:

  • If you qualify for debt counselling
  • Who your creditors are and how much you owe each of them
  • The total amount of debt that you have
  • Your income and expenses
  • The ideal repayment plan for you

Once it has been established that you will benefit from debt counselling, your debt counsellor will gather more information, if needed, and then put together a debt repayment plan.
Important things to take note of

While under debt review you will not be able to access further credit. In addition, if you want to exit debt review prior to repaying all of your debts you will have to make an application to withdraw. This entails proving that you are no longer over-indebted.

You should also note that debt counselling is not a viable solution for everyone and there are certainly other, less invasive ways of dealing with it. These methods, however, will require a great deal of effort and commitment from you and may be difficult to observe if you find managing your finances to be a serious challenge.

Another reality is that many people simply cannot get out of the debt cycle until they are forced to, mostly because of a complete financial collapse or, because they’ve decided to undergo debt review to save their assets.

Debt review is also not ideal for someone going through a temporary financial crisis. If, for instance, you’ve had an emergency expense and this has caused you to be unable to fully furnish all of your debts, then you should rather contact your creditors directly and explain your situation to them.

In most cases they will be willing to help you out and arranging an alternative payment option to help you get through your difficulties.
