The debt counselling process prohibits credit providers from repossessing your vehicle, house or other assets. This protection is in effect for the whole duration of the debt counselling process.
What exactly is debt counselling?
Debt Counselling is a process defined by the National Credit Act to assist consumers who are over indebted. It allows a debt counsellor to negotiate with credit providers on behalf of the consumer. The powers offered to the debt counsellor through the National Credit Act allows the debt counsellor to reduce the monthly instalments of the over indebted consumer.
By reducing the monthly instalments the debt counselling process brings immediate financial relief to the consumer and affords the consumer a way to pay back debt in a controlled and protected environment.
Debt Counselling is regulated by the National Credit Regulator. It is therefor important to know that every debt counsellor must be registered with the National Credit Regulator.
The process also offers the opportunity to clear a consumer’s credit record through the clearance certificate.
Debt counselling is the best remedy for over indebted consumers because it brings immediate relief, offers protection for the duration of the process and ultimately rehabilitates consumers into the credit market.
