Debt counselling is a legal process that helps over-indebted consumers restructure their monthly repayments into one affordable instalment, while protecting them against legal action and repossession. Your counsellor negotiates with creditors to create a sustainable repayment plan that still allows you to cover essential living expenses.
Debt counselling fees are regulated by the National Credit Regulator (NCR) and apply to all registered debt counsellors in South Africa:
Application Fee
R50 (once-off, payable on application).
Administration Fee
R300 (once-off, payable after acceptance of application).
Restructuring Fee
Equal to your first month’s instalment under the new plan, capped at R8,000 for one applicant or R9,000 for joint applications (married in community of property).
After-Care Fee
5% of your monthly instalment (excluding VAT), capped at R450 per month.
Legal Fees
Vary depending on the attorney, but usually charged for obtaining the court order that makes your repayment plan legally binding. These are always discussed upfront.
