Creditors can sometimes extend credit to people who they know, can’t afford to pay them back. This is of course irresponsible from their part and it always ends badly for consumers.

Debt Review Centre has on many occasions successfully brought Reckless Credit Allegations against creditors and got hundreds of thousands of Rands of debt written-off for several clients.

What is A Reckless Credit Allegation?

Reckless credit allegations may happen when creditors fail to conduct a thorough analysis of whether the consumer is able to pay the money back.

In such cases, consumers can reach a favorable settlement agreement with the creditor.

Debt Review Centre has successfully done this on numerous occasions.

When successful, such cases can reduce monthly installments significantly and in some cases write off the debt.

One such recent example is a client who saw their debt reduced by over R120,000.

We take interest rates negotiation very seriously, here’s why.
