Success

Why people choose debt review

A legal, structured way to regain control — recognised and protected under South African law.

Legal protection from creditors

Creditors cannot take legal action or repossess assets while you're under an approved plan.

Reduced monthly payments

Your repayments are restructured to fit what you can actually afford.

One single payment

Instead of juggling multiple creditors, you make one monthly payment that's distributed for you.

Lower interest rates

Your debt counsellor negotiates better terms with your creditors on your behalf.

Is debt review right for you?

An honest look at when debt review makes sense — and when it might not.

You may qualify if:

  • Your monthly debt repayments exceed what you can comfortably afford
  • You're consistently missing payments or relying on credit for essentials
  • You have multiple unsecured debts (loans, credit cards, store accounts)
  • Creditors are calling or threatening legal action

Debt review may not be the answer if:

  • You're managing your repayments comfortably each month
  • You need to apply for new credit (such as a home loan) very soon
  • Your situation could be resolved with simple budgeting support instead

Common misconceptions

Clearing up the myths that stop people from getting the help they need.

"I will lose my assets"

Not true. Debt review is designed to help you keep your assets while restructuring your debt. As long as you maintain payments, your assets are protected from repossession.

"Debt review is the same as administration"

No — these are different processes. Debt review is a voluntary process under the NCA and offers more flexibility and better protection than administration.

"I can never get credit again"

Once you complete debt review and receive your clearance certificate, you can apply for credit again, with a record showing you successfully completed the process.

Frequently asked questions

How long does debt review take?

Typically between 3 to 5 years, depending on your total debt and repayment capacity.

Will debt review affect my credit record?

Yes, it's noted while you're under the process — but this is often preferable to defaults or judgments, and the flag is removed once you complete the process.

Can I still use credit while under debt review?

No, you cannot take on new credit during the process, so you can focus on becoming debt-free.

Is the assessment really free?

Yes. There's no cost and no obligation to proceed after your free assessment.
