What is Debt Counselling/Debt Review?

In South African law, if a consumer is over indebted, a Debt Counsellor can issue a debt restructuring proposal to the Magistrate’s Court that has jurisdiction over that consumer.

The Court can then make either (or both) of the following orders:-
•That one or more of the consumer’s credit agreements be declared to be reckless credit, if the debt counsellor has concluded that those agreements appear to be reckless;
•That one or more of the consumer’s debt obligations be re-arranged by extending the period of the agreement and reducing the installment amount of each payment due accordingly;
•Postponing during a specified period the dates on which payments are due under the agreement;
•Extending the period of the agreement and postponing during a specified period, the date on which payments are due under the agreement.
THE DEBT COUNSELLING PROCESS
The main objective of the Debt Review program was to not only provide Consumers with the required protection but also to assist them in becoming debt free.

There is a vast difference between Debt Review and Administration – one of which is the fact, that unlike administration, under Debt Review all the clients’ obligations will be taken up and restructured. Administration can only cover a maximum amount of R50, 000 hence the reason for some accounts being left out and the client still have to fulfil the total obligation. Under Administration, no negotiations take place to reduce interest rates charged by creditors. Furthermore, the consumer is not blacklisted but flagged by the NCR. This flag can be removed at anytime on a cancellation request by the consumer (subject to the conditions as described in the Fee Guidelines of the National Credit Regulator). The consumer also has the choice of transferring from one Debt Counsellor to another in the event of non service etc. The flag will automatically be removed once the consumer is debt free. With Regulations laid down by the NCR, the consumer’s monthly contribution (rehabilitation) amount is always protected. The NCR has registered and accredited Payment Distribution Agencies who will collect and distribute payment to creditors. No monies are paid the Debt Counsellor. The Payment Distribution Agencies will act on instruction of the Debt Counsellor and distribute funds to the Creditors.
