Step 1: You complete an application form and provide us with the details of all your Credit Providers. (Consultations are usually done telephonically and by e-mail, but can also be done in person.)

Step 2: We determine whether you are over-indebted, in other words, do your monthly expenses exceed your monthly income? (You have to be over-indebted to qualify for Debt Review.)

Step 3: If you are over-indebted, we shall inform all your Credit Providers and the Credit Bureaus that you are under Debt Review. Your Credit Providers will also be requested to provide us with a Certificate of Balance (COB) in respect of your accounts. (You will immediately start to pay a single provisional reduced monthly instalment in respect of all your Credit Providers which will be affordable to you

Step 4: After receiving all the COB’s, we will restructure your payment plan and negotiate with your Credit Providers where necessary. After negotiations with your Credit Providers, your new restructured payment plan will be sent to all your Credit Providers and this new payment plan will take effect. (Your restructured payment plan will reduce your monthly debt repayments to an affordable amount, leaving you with sufficient money for your living expenses.)

Step 5: We will instruct our specialist attorneys to apply at court in order to make your restructured payment plan a court order. You will not have to appear in court yourself, as your Debt Counsellor will be the applicant in the matter, unless the particular magistrate requires your presence. (The process will now be completed and you must ensure that your monthly payments are made timeously in order to prevent Credit Providers from taking action against you.)
