A registered Financial Services Provider that cares

Registered with the National Credit Regulator (NCR), DebtSafe offers safe, secure, and reliable debt review services that change lives.

As a registered FSP, they abide by the National Credit Act and the rules and regulations set out by the NCR.

Their fees are structured according to regulations and you can rest assured that you’re not going to be paying exorbitant fees when looking to consolidate debt.

Need a hand managing your debt?

Whether you want to call it debt review, debt management, or debt consolidation, DebtSafe can help you get it done. If you’re overindebted, being harassed by creditors, and are struggling to keep up with payments, they can offer you a solution - debt review.

DebtSafe Services

DebtSafe offers debt review services and can help you take back control of your finances - and life.

You can start the process by completing an online application and reviewing the quote that DebtSafe will send you. If you’re pleased with what you see you can go ahead and enter into the consolidation agreement.

So how does debt review work?

Once you've been approved for debt review DebtSafe will assess your debts and negotiate with all of your creditors for lower, smaller, or less-frequent repayments depending on your situation. These creditors will no longer be able to contact you or attempt to deviate from the newly established credit agreement as this will be secured by a court order.

You will then make one single lump payment every month which will be distributed amongst your creditors. This will give you a lot of legroom and help you ensure you pay off your debts in a slow, steady, and secure way.

You no longer have to worry about getting calls and being harassed, about struggling to come up with enough to pay, or paying multiple creditors from multiple accounts.

Need to make sure you’re covered?

DebtSafe also offers you insurance that will cover your debts in the event that you’re retrenched, become disable or pass away. In these instances, the insurance will kick in to ensure you and your loved one have nothing to worry about.

Once you’ve completed the program and paid off your debts you’ll be issued with a completion certificate. In addition, your credit score will have been repaired and you can now enjoy the debt-free life that you deserve!
