FAQ_Meerkat_3@2x

What is debt review?

Debt review, also known as Debt counselling, is a legal process introduced by the National Credit Regulator. It is a process set up to help South Africans who are struggling to pay off their debt. The debt obligations are restructured, and interest rates are reduced to enable consumers to meet their monthly commitments.

What are the rights of consumers in debt counselling?

• Consumers have a right to apply for debt counselling
• Consumers have a right to request for, and be provided with, reasons if their application for debt counselling is rejected
• Consumers have a right to written disclosure of fees applicable prior to application for debt counselling
• Consumers have a right to full disclosure of the debt counselling process prior to application for debt counselling
• Consumers have a right to receive distribution statements from their debt counsellors and PDAs on a monthly basis

What is the difference between debt review and debt consolidation?

Debt review is the restructuring of all your debt repayments into one affordable monthly repayment by extending the terms of your credit agreements and decreasing interest rates, whereas consolidation entails taking out one large loan to settle all debts and only paying back one loan. Consolidation loans require that you are not over-indebted at the time of application.

What happens after debt review?

Once the process has been completed and your debt has been repaid, your counsellor will issue you with a clearance certificate. The certificate is then submitted to the Credit Bureau so that they can update your record and remove any negative information they hold.

What costs are involved in debt review?

Debt counsellors’ fees are regulated by the National Credit Regulator (NCR) and form part of your monthly repayment amount so you will not be charged any additional or upfront fees. Generally, the 1st 2 monthly payments go to the debt counsellor for administering the debt review and legal process. Your creditors are then paid from month 3.
