A Debt Agreement is a way for you to reduce your debt, pause your interest and repay your debt in peace. If you are struggling with bad debt you would know how stressful it can be. Your creditors are chasing you for payment, you can't seem to get on top of your bills and the stress is starting to effect other areas of your life like your work and relationships.
A Debt Agreement is a contract between you and your creditors outlining a new repayment arrangement which is better suited to your circumstances. It needs to be negotiated by a professional Debt Agreement Administrator who will work with you to determine how much you can afford to pay.
From there they will approach your creditors and negotiate a new repayment arrangement. To enter into a Revive Debt Agreement you must have at least $10,000 in unsecured debts.
A Debt Agreement is one of the most effective ways of reducing your debt. Once it has been approved you will be granted much needed time and grace to repay your debt without struggling with the stress. Each agreement is negotiated differently, but most commonly, a Debt Agreement will reduce your overall debt so you are only paying a percentage of what you owe.
Benefits also include pausing all the interest on your debts and creditors won't be allowed to hassle you for repayments. Entering into a Debt Agreement will save you from having to declare bankruptcy and the approval process is easy if you use a professional to negotiate the agreement.
While a Debt Agreement can be your saving grace, there are a few consequences you need to consider before entering into one. Entering a Debt Agreement is considered a form of Bankruptcy so your name will be listed on the National Personal Insolvency Index (NPII) for life. It will also be marked on your credit file, which may impact your ability to borrow more money.
However people who are in a position to enter a Debt Agreement already have many defaults and judgements on their credit file. If you are considering perusing this debt relief solution, you need to decide whether these small consequences are worth having the freedom to repay your debt in peace.
