TAKING THE FIRST STEP

In Today’s Blog the discussion will help you to make a decision taking back control and putting your life back on track.

SOUTH AFRICA’S LAW MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR ALL CONSUMERS WHO CANNOT PAY THEIR DEBT EVERY MONTH, TO MAKE AN APPLICATION TO A REGISTERED DEBT COUNSELOR, WHO WILL MAKE AN AFFORDABLE PAYMENT ARRANGEMENT, REFER THE AGREEMENT WHERE THE COURT WILL VERIFY WHAT THE CONSUMER CAN ACTUALLY AFFORD EACH MONTH. THIS LAW HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE 2007 AND IS CALLED THE NATIONAL CREDIT ACT.

Most creditors want some assurance they will get paid every month, over a specific period of term that is in as per the contractual agreement and agreed to when the loan was granted. That is why they put so much pressure on consumers to pay bigger payments and not taking into account the personal situation of the consumer’s other commitments when running into financial trouble and accumulating arrears those accounts. The creditor will enforce their rights to ensure the debt is collected in full.

The danger is that debt can have a bad and outcome on you when you allow it to get out of control. It is so easy to get credit and to go into debt, but also so difficult to get out of debt effecting your credit score rating. When you ignore the situation you can find yourself with a summons served when you at work or the Sheriff of the court visiting you with a Right of Execution to list all your assets on your property to report back to your creditors which can be very very stressful and cause sleepless nights, panic and trigger anxiety.

That is why it is better to get help as quick as possible, and not get deeper into the debt trap by taking out another loan you know you won’t be able to afford. If I may say without offending you, YOU ACTUALLY ARE IN A DEEP DEBT HOLE! Finding you can’t get out of the situation sinking in deeper and deeper IN THE hole getting bigger and threatening your lively hood that leads to more stress. THEREFORE YOU HAVE TO GET RID OF THE DEBT.

You do have  an alternative of a legal program called Debt Review that has been around for a long time and can help you get your life back on track. Debt Review is a great tool available to you to deal with your day to day expenses and pay your debt every month, in a more manageable and affordable payment. This way you can put an end to your sleepless nights and reduce stress levels that effects other areas of your life negatively.
