There are various requirements that need to be met in order for one to qualify for debt counselling. Debt counselling is best suited to South African consumers who are;
- Struggling to meet their debt repayments on time
- Unable to pay off their debts after taking into account all expenses and income
- Currently employed and earning a monthly income
- Deemed over-indebted (At the end of the month, you owe credit providers more than what you can pay for)
Unfortunately, DebtBusters is unable to offer their services to South African consumers who are unemployed and are not earning an income.
This can be attributed to the fact that you have to receive a monthly income in order to pay for your current monthly debt instalments.
Although DebtBusters will reduce your interest rates and extend your debt repayment terms, allowing you to pay a smaller monthly instalment, you still have to be able to afford that instalment so that they can eradicate all of their debt.
