Most of us have them - credit cards, personal loans, clothing accounts and other debts. Most of us find it fairly easy to manage our debts - keeping track of interest rates, providers, amounts due and then making payments on time every month. However, for some, their debts are spiralling out of control. There are many reasons that this may happen. You may have been unfortunate in that you have lost your once very stable and reliable income and are now struggling to keep up with your repayments.
Debt Consolidation is an effective method of getting back financial control. Consolidating your debt in layman's terms means that instead of having to keep track of every one of your debtors, you apply for a consolidation loan and pay that off. You may be able to choose new repayment terms including interest rates and the repayment period.
There are many different debt consolidation agencies in South Africa that will assist you and explain the debt counselling procedure.
