You’re in deep with credit cards, student loan debt and car loans. Minimum monthly payments aren’t doing the trick to help nix your debt. Something has to change, and you’re considering debt consolidation because of the allure of one easy payment and the promise of lower interest rates.
What Is Debt Consolidation?
Debt consolidation is the combination of several unsecured debts—payday loans, credit cards, medical bills—into one monthly bill with the illusion of a lower interest rate, lower monthly payment and simplified debt relief plan.

What is DEBT RESTRUCTURING? What does DEBT RESTRUCTURING mean? DEBT RESTRUCTURING meaning – DEBT RESTRUCTURING definition – DEBT RESTRUCTURING explanation.
Source: Wikipedia.org article, adapted under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ license.
Debt restructuring is a process that allows a private or public company, or a sovereign entity facing cash flow problems and financial distress to reduce and renegotiate its delinquent debts in order to improve or restore liquidity so that it can continue its operations.
Replacement of old debt by new debt when not under financial distress is called “refinancing”. Out-of-court restructurings, also known as workouts, are increasingly becoming a global reality.
A debt restructuring, which involves a reduction of debt and an extension of payment terms, is usually a less expensive alternative to bankruptcy. The main costs associated with debt restructuring are the time and effort negotiating with bankers, creditors, vendors, and tax authorities.
In the United States, small business bankruptcy filings cost at least $50,000 in legal and court fees, and filing costs in excess of $100,000 are common. By some measures, only 20% of firms survive Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings.
Historically, debt restructuring has been the province of large corporations with financial wherewithal. In the Great Recession that began with the financial crisis of 2007–08, a component of debt restructuring called debt mediation emerged for small businesses (with revenues under $5 million). Like debt restructuring, debt mediation is a business-to-business activity and should not be considered the same as individual debt reduction involving credit cards, unpaid taxes, and defaulted mortgages.
In 2010 debt mediation has become a primary way for small businesses to refinance in light of reduced lines of credit and direct borrowing. Debt mediation can be cost-effective for small businesses, help end or avoid litigation, and is preferable to filing for bankruptcy. While there are numerous companies providing restructuring for large corporations, there are few legitimate firms working for small businesses. Legitimate debt restructuring firms only work for the debtor client (not as a debt collection agency) and should charge fees based on success.
Among the debt situations that can be worked out in business-to-business debt mediation are: lawsuits and judgments, delinquent property, machinery, equipment rentals/leases, business loans or mortgage on business property, capital payments due for improvements/construction, invoices and statements, disputed bills and problem debts.
In a debt-for-equity swap, a company’s creditors generally agree to cancel some or all of the debt in exchange for equity in the company.
Debt for equity deals often occur when large companies run into serious financial trouble, and often result in these companies being taken over by their principal creditors. This is because both the debt and the remaining assets in these companies are so large that there is no advantage for the creditors to drive the company into bankruptcy. Instead the creditors prefer to take control of the business as a going concern. As a consequence, the original shareholders’ stake in the company is generally significantly diluted in these deals and may be entirely eliminated, as is typical in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Debt-for-equity swaps are one way of dealing with sub-prime mortgages. A householder unable to service his debt on a $180,000 mortgage for example, may by agreement with his bank have the value of the mortgage reduced (say to $135,000 or 75% of the house’s current value), in return for which the bank will receive 50% of the amount by which any resale value, when the house is resold, exceeds $135,000.
A debt-for-equity swap may also be called a “bondholder haircut”. Bondholder haircuts at large banks were advocated as a potential solution for the subprime mortgage crisis by prominent economists:
Economist Joseph Stiglitz testified that bank bailouts “are really bailouts not of the enterprises but of the shareholders and especially bondholders. There is no reason that American taxpayers should be doing this”. He wrote that reducing bank debt levels by converting debt into equity will increase confidence in the financial system. He believes that addressing bank solvency in this way would help address credit market liquidity issues.

DebtBusters is South Africa’s leading and largest debt management company, which offers amongst other debt solutions and debt consolidation, the solution debt counselling. In 2007, the formal debt solution, debt counselling, was introduced by the National Credit Act. It is a similar process to that of debt consolidation, as it allows you to place all of your debts into one single account, rather than having the hassle of paying off multiple accounts every month. Debt counselling is a better and more manageable solution for improving your financial situation and making debt repayments, as it reduces the amount interest you are required to pay on debt repayments. Debt counselling is similar to debt consolidation, as it will enable you to get better interest rates on credit in the future.
This video takes you through debt counselling process and will enable you to see how the process is similar, yet differentiates from debt consolidation. DebtBusters debt solutions such as debt counselling and debt consolidation can be further explained by a financial consultant by calling 086 999 0606.
A DebtBusters financial consultant will assess your financial situation a draw up an appropriate monthly budget, which will enable you to meet your debt requirements and make one monthly debt repayment. Just like debt consolidation, in order to qualify for debt counselling, all you need to do is provide DebtBusters with your Identity document, bank statements and latest payslip. However, it is also essential to recognise that you have to be deemed over indebted and earning a monthly income.
Due to varying financial situations, DebtBusters will be able to advise whether debt counselling or debt consolidation is best suited to your financial circumstances. In terms of debt consolidation, our financial consultants will be able to provide you with secured or unsecured debt consolidation. However, in most circumstances, debt counselling is considered as a preferable and more efficient debt solution and will give you a second chance to build a brighter future.
Debt services such as debt consolidation, debt counselling and debt management are available on the DebtBusters website www.debtbusters.co.za. Just like debt consolidation, debt counselling can reduce costs and save you money on monthly debt repayments and interest rates. Debt counselling is a viable debt solution, just like debt consolidation and can help consumers to become financially literate and assist South Africa with overcoming the economic and social challenges it currently faces,
