Debt Review Removal Services in Kempton Park

What is Debt Review?

Debt review also known as debt counselling is a legal process governed by South Africa’s National Credit Act. It assists over indebted consumers by restructuring multiple credit obligations into a single affordable instalment. Once you have entered debt review creditors must accept the new repayment terms and you are protected from further legal steps against you. While this process provides much needed relief it also places a flag on your credit profile preventing further credit applications until it is removed.

Why Debt Review Removal is Important

• Improves your credit score: The debt review marker adversely affects your credit score. Once it is removed your score begins to recover reflecting responsible repayment behaviour.
• Enables new financial opportunities: With a clean credit profile you can apply for home bond finance vehicle loans or business credit without the barrier of a flagged record.
• Protects your reputation: Clearing the debt review status shows prospective landlords insurers and employers that you have met your obligations and can be trusted.
• Upholds your legal rights: Having settled all debts you are entitled to request removal. Taking action ensures your record accurately reflects your settled status.
