Debt Review Removal Misconceptions

Exiting debt review in South Africa can seem like a quick fix, but there’s a lot of misinformation out there. Here are some common misconceptions that could land you in hot water;

Myth #1: The Debt Review Removal Process is Easy.

Exiting debt review isn’t a simple process. It requires following specific legal procedures based on each client situation.

Myth #2: There are No Consequences.

Not complying with a debt review court order can lead to serious penalties under Section 160 of the National Credit Act (NCA).
161. Any person convicted of an offence in terms of this Act, is liable-
(a) in the case of a contravention of section 160( I), to a fine or to imprisonment
for a period not exceeding 10 years, or to both a fine and imprisonment; or
(b) in any other case, to a fine or to imprisonment for a period not exceeding 12
months, or to both a fine and imprisonment.
(Section 161 of the National Credit Act of 2005)

Myth #3: Thinking that you will still enjoy the protection and benefits of debt counselling.

Leaving debt review means losing legal safeguards and reverting to original credit terms. Be sure you’re financially ready before taking the leap because some creditors will take legal action.

Myth #4: Lawyers Do It All (My Attorney will deal with this)

Attorneys cannot directly remove your debt review listing. Debt counsellors handle the process with attorney assistance when needed for court appearances.
Myth #5: I Can Easily Afford Debt Review Removal

While exiting debt review offers freedom, it’s important to understand the financial implications. Contrary to popular belief, debt review removal often incurs hefty fees. Legal professionals like attorneys and some debt counsellors can charge anywhere between R1500 and R12000 for the application process itself.

Here at The National Debt Review Center, we offer a transparent approach with a fixed fee of R8550, payable conveniently over 2-3 months. However, this doesn’t cover everything. You’ll still need to factor in:

Your original Debt Repayments: Exiting debt review means resuming your original debt repayments, so ensure your financial situation can handle that responsibility.
Outstanding Debt Counselling Fees: There might be outstanding debt counselling fees from your previous debt review plan.
Therefore, we strongly advise that if you are considering debt review removal, do so only if your financial situation has truly improved and you’re no longer over-indebted.
