Amanda
New South WalesDuring a brief period of unemployment, Amanda relied on emergency credit cards. With the rising cost of living, she struggled to keep up with $30,000 in mixed debts.

The challenge
Despite returning to work, the compounding effects of everyday expenses made it impossible for Amanda to catch up on the debts she accrued while unemployed.
Unexpected hardship
A brief period of unemployment forced Amanda to rely heavily on emergency credit cards just to cover basic needs.
Compounding expenses
The rising cost of living squeezed her budget, leaving little room to make a dent in her balances.
Mounting debt
Her mixed debts quickly grew to $30,000, creating overwhelming financial stress.
Interest accumulation
High interest rates meant her balances remained stagnant, trapping her in a cycle of debt despite her best efforts to pay them down.
The solution
Comprehensive financial assessment
Practical guidance
Tailored solutions
Complete transparency
Why this approach worked
Getting started is easy and straightforward
Significant debt reduction & interest Freeze
By establishing an Informal Agreement, we successfully negotiated Amanda’s total obligations down from $30,000 to approximately $21,000. Not only did she save $9,000, but we also got all ongoing interest removed, stopping the debt cycle in its tracks.
Simplified financial management
Instead of struggling with mixed debts and unpredictable minimum payments, Amanda now makes a single, affordable repayment of just $110 per week. This realistic 5-year plan fits comfortably within her budget and living expenses.
The result
Amanda successfully entered an Informal Agreement, experiencing immediate financial relief. By securing a 30% reduction and removing all interest, she regained her financial stability and now has a stress-free, realistic framework to become entirely debt-free in five years.
Additional benefits
Improved financial standing through a consistent single payment history
Mental clarity and reduced financial stress
Ability to manage the rising cost of living with freed-up cash flow
On track to be completely debt-free in five years
Consolidating unexpected family debt
A change in employment left Emma struggling to support herself and her son through his mental health challenges, accumulating $17,000 in debt across four creditors. Unable to refinance and determined to avoid bankruptcy, we set up an Informal Agreement that consolidated everything into a single, realistic repayment plan – protecting her property and keeping her finances on track.
Keeping the workshop open
When COVID hit, John’s mechanic workshop suffered a severe downturn, leaving him with $113,000 in debt across seven creditors. Unable to refinance and determined to avoid bankruptcy to protect his business and family, we negotiated a 5-year Informal Agreement – reducing his debt by 20% into a single affordable payment plan, keeping his business running and his livelihood intact.
