2. Debt Counselling (click here to find out more)

Where appropriate, Summit will recommend Debt Counselling, a statuary process introduced by the National Credit Act that relies on agreements with credit providers to reduce instalments and interest rates on outstanding accounts. The process ends with a magistrate’s court order enforcing a consumer’s payment proposal or merely extending the term of payment to reduce instalments. This allows the consumer to pay off their debt while still affording their necessary monthly expenses.

3. DCRS Payment Proposals

DCRS is a pre-agreed formula created by the credit industry to apportion the consumer’s monthly cash surplus. The importance of this formula is that all major credit providers have agreed to automatically consent to proposals which solve within the DCRS steps. This makes it much simpler to get the payment proposal confirmed by the magistrate court.

Summit’s debt counselling team are DCRS experts and on average 80% of debt counselling applications solve in the DCRS formula, depending on the consumer’s affordability.

4. Voluntary Arrangements

Where appropriate, Summit will provide a consumer with a budget showing what they can afford to pay and advice them on making voluntary arrangements directly with their credit providers.
