In 2007, the National Credit Regulator (NCR) introduced debt review and debt counselling under the National Credit Act (NCA) 34 of 2005.
It is a voluntary debt relief measure to assist over-indebted consumers whose income is not sufficient to cover their living expenses and debt repayments.
Debt Review is intended to assist these consumers through budget advice, negotiation with credit providers and restructuring of debts.
While a consumer is under debt review, credit providers cannot issue letters of demand or take legal action against them. The consumer is legally protected
