What you can expect

Lower monthly instalments

We build a budget-based proposal and negotiate with your credit providers.

Protection during the process

Once accepted, providers deal through us while your plan is finalised and made an order of court.

One payment, clean finish

Pay a single amount via the regulated Payment Distribution Agent (PDA). When done, you receive a clearance certificate.

Deal directly with the counsellor

No call centres — you work with the counsellor throughout, from first assessment to clearance certificate.

How it works

Step 1
Assessment

We review income, expenses, and debts to confirm suitability.

Step 2
Notify & propose

Credit providers are notified and we submit a reduced-instalment proposal.

Step 3
Consent order

Terms are confirmed by court so everyone is aligned.

Step 4
One payment

You pay one monthly amount until completion; we support you to clearance.

Is debt review right for me?

You’re falling behind

Missed or late repayments, or you’re using new credit to pay old credit.

You need one affordable plan

Many accounts and collection calls. You want a single payment that fits your budget.

You want a clean finish

You’re ready to commit, finish the plan, and get a clearance certificate.

What we’ll ask from you

  • Copy of your ID
  • Proof of address (e.g., municipal bill, not older than 3 months)
  • Latest payslip or proof of income
  • Last 3 months’ bank statements
  • A list of your credit providers and balances (we help you compile this)
  • Any legal letters or notices you’ve received

Everything stays confidential. We explain fees upfront as per NCR guidelines before you sign anything.
