Understanding Debt Terminology 

 

Debt Counseling or Debt Counselling

Debt counseling Johannesburg is fast becoming a reality for a lot of people who are in trouble with their finances. Debt counselling includes managing your debt through restructuring of your financial plans, or helping you create a financial plan from which to work. Living with huge outstanding financial balanced, and creditors, legal notices and threats can be stressful and intimidating, and debt counseling helps work through the practical changes needed to get out of debt. For those going through debt consolidation, debt counselling is an essential must have to not get into the debt spiral again. 

Debt Consolidation

Debt consolidation is where the debt is put together into a single basket (loan) and then paid off in terms acceptable to yourself and the creditor. It does not mean that the debt is automatically cancelled, but the constant pressure of having creditors hound you is removed, and the debt is paid off using a different payment plan. For information on how to avoid needing debt consolidation, please contact us.

Debt Management

Managing finances and the debt you incur is do-able with information and understanding. Understanding what the debt is you have incurred and how to avoid unnecessary interest rates, (accrued interest) and what you are currently able to afford is very important in avoiding bad debt. Most South Africans need to go into debt for houses, cars, or even school fees. Specific debt management can prevent problems in the future.
