FAQs
What is debt consolidation?
This is a process that combines all your monthly debt repayments into one payment. The main aim is to reduce the installments to provide financial relief to the consumer. Debt consolidation itself is not a specific product, but a term used to represent all processes that aim to achieve this goal.
In South Africa, there are two types of debt consolidation: Debt counselling/review and a consolidation loan. Each of these solutions has unique qualifying criteria and benefits. Vantage specializes in helping consumers determine which option would work best.
How does debt counselling work?
Debt counselling was created to get over-indebted consumers out of debt. An NCR registered debt counsellor will assess your entire financial situation and work out if they can assist you with a new, affordable repayment plan. They will then formally negotiate with all your credit providers to reduce monthly installments and interest rates.
A consent order is granted to formalise the new repayment plan. Payments are made through an NCR registered payment distribution agency that distributes the funds to each credit provider monthly. Once all the debt has been paid you will be issued a clearance certificate. Your credit record will be restored, and adverse information will be cleared.
Is there a difference between debt counselling and debt review?
There is no real difference between debt counselling and debt review. Debt review was introduced in 2007 to assist over-indebted consumers. In the early stages the industry experienced some teething issues. In 2013 the NCR introduced stricter rules and regulations to give clients more protection. These amendments to the process have turned it into a successful debt rehabilitation program. As a result of these changes, the process is now formally referred to as debt counselling although the term debt review is still commonly used in the industry.
I have heard some scary things about debt counselling. Does it really work?
It certainly does. Debt counselling is a formal and highly efficient process created and regulated by the National Credit Regulator (NCR) to help over-indebted consumers repay their debt affordably. It is important to note that the quality of the Debt Counsellor used has a significant impact on the outcome of the process. A good debt counsellor should be registered with the NCR, reduce your interest rates, provide you with sufficient and transparent information with a high level of service at all times. At Vantage, we will provide you with a stress-free experience and address any of your concerns.
What is a credit score?
A credit score is a number representing a consumer’s credit risk which is calculated by the various registered credit bureaux. Your credit score is based on your credit profile, repayment history and various other factors. If you have a lot of debt relative to your income, keep applying for new debt and have missed a few payments (known as arrears), your credit score is likely to be low.
If you have a manageable amount of debt that you pay on time each month, you are likely to have a high credit score. Credit providers use this credit score to determine your level of risk and whether they will lend to you and at which interest rate.
How do I repair my credit score?
If you have a low credit score the best way to improve it is to pay your debts on time and catch up on any missed payments. Full and consistent payments over an extended period will positively impact your credit score.
If you have any agreements in legal action i.e. judgment or summons, these need to be settled and removed from your credit profile as soon as possible.
In addition, avoid making excessive credit applications in a short period of time as this will severely affect your credit score negatively.
If you find yourself unable to meet your debt Installments and you cannot catch up on arrears it is very important to speak to a debt management company for advice and to find a solution.
