This removes the "under debt review" status from your credit record, offering you a clean slate. Maintaining good financial habits ought to boost your credit score, enabling you to qualify for new lines of credit on standard terms. Ready to become debt-free?

What happens if I don’t complete the process?

If you exit the debt counseling process early or fail to make agreed-upon payments, you'll lose legal protection, opening the door for creditors to take legal action against you. Your credit score will continue to suffer, and the "under debt review" status will remain on your record until all debts are cleared. Failure to complete the process could also lead to asset repossession for secured debts like home loans or car finance. Meanwhile, your existing debts will continue to accrue interest, likely at higher rates, exacerbating your financial strain. Remember, creditors are generally not forgiving with third chances.

How long after entering the process, will I experience relief?

Under this plan, you'll make a single reduced monthly payment to a Payment Distribution Agency (PDA), which will then allocate the funds according to your plan. Get Started Today.

What's the difference between secured and unsecured debt?

Secured debt is like getting a loan with a safety net for the lender. You offer something valuable you own, like your house or car, as collateral. This means if you can't pay back the loan, the lender can take this item. Because there's less risk for the lender, they usually charge you less interest.


Unsecured debt is different. It doesn't involve any collateral. Instead, the lender decides if they'll lend you money based on your financial history and trustworthiness, known as your creditworthiness. However, because the lender doesn't have a safety net (like your house or car to take if you don't pay), they usually charge higher interest rates. If you can't pay back an unsecured loan, you won't immediately lose a specific asset, but there can be serious legal consequences, and it will harm your credit score.

Am I protected during the process?

Yes, under the National Credit Act, which ensures responsible lending, regulated fees, and mechanisms for dispute resolution. For more information, click here.

How can I improve my credit score?

By making timely payments, limiting credit inquiries from credit providers, regular monitoring of your credit score, seeking professional counselling, and staying informed.

What rights do I have against loan sharks?
