Regulated rates

All debt counsellors’ fees are regulated by the National Credit Regulator (NCR) and are included in your affordable debt repayment plan. Your monthly debt review payment is specific to your situation and how much debt you have in total. Debt counsellors are permitted by the NCR to charge:

  • A once-off application fee of R350 (excl. VAT).
  • A once-off restructuring fee equal to the first month’s payment, limited to a maximum of R8,000 (excl. VAT) for a single application and R9,000 (excl. VAT) for a joint application.
  • A monthly aftercare fee of 5% (excl. VAT) of the debt review payment, with a maximum of R450 (excl. VAT).

Specialist attorneys

We only make use of attorneys who specialise in debt counselling. Our attorneys have extensive experience and an in-depth understanding of the National Credit Act (NCA), established networks of national correspondents, and are always up to date with the latest changes in the law pertaining to debt counselling.

Success rate

The latest available NCR statistics indicate that more than 11 million consumers have impaired credit records – more than 48% of all credit-active consumers in South Africa. Since the implementation of the National Credit Act, Fin Rescue has helped thousands of consumers ease their financial distress and, where possible, save their assets with a sound debt repayment plan.

Pros & cons of debt review

Pros

  • All of your debt repayments will be consolidated into one reduced monthly repayment plan.
  • Your assets, including your home and vehicle, will be protected from repossession.
  • Credit providers will no longer harass you with phone calls and threatening lawyers’ letters in the mail.
  • Negotiating reduced interest rates.
  • Pay less for your debt on a monthly basis.

Cons

  • Paying over a longer period due to reduced instalments being paid towards credit providers.
  • Not being able to take on any new debt while under debt review.
  • Debt counselling may not cover all of your debts, as an account might need to be excluded if legal action commenced before your application.
