A real customer story

This is how Erica got her life back

Seven debts. One phone call. And a plan that changed everything.

  2. One free call to DebtBusters. No judgement, just someone listening.

  3. R10,000 became R3,000/month. One payment, one date, one clear plan.

  4. She breathes easy now. And is debt free.

Questions we get asked every day

Seven debts. One phone call. And a plan that changed everything.

Yes, temporarily. While under debt counselling your credit score will reflect this. But once you complete the process and become debt free, the flag is removed and you can rebuild your credit.

Most of our clients are debt free within three to five years. It depends on how much you owe and what you can afford each month — your counsellor gives you a clear end date up front.

Yes. Debt counselling does not stop you renting. Some landlords run a credit check, so it helps to explain that you are under debt review and paying a structured plan.

Your debt counsellor deals with your credit providers on your behalf, and the court appearance to confirm your repayment plan is handled for you — you do not have to face your creditors alone.

If you are struggling to keep up with your monthly debt repayments and have a regular income, you most likely qualify. One free call is all it takes to find out.
