The Challenge
Despite working full-time, the financial fallout of a relationship breakdown left Kath trapped with unmanageable shared debts and limited refinancing options.
Relationship Breakdown
A difficult separation left Kath to navigate a single-income household while managing debts originally intended for two incomes.
Sole Liability
Although the financial burden was previously shared, the mortgage and several personal loans were solely in her name, leaving her legally responsible for the full amounts.
Damaged Credit Score
The sheer strain of juggling multiple high-interest repayments took a toll on her credit file, making traditional financial solutions difficult to access.
Refinancing Roadblocks
Because of her impaired credit history, mainstream lenders were reluctant to help her refinance the family home, leaving her stuck on high interest rates.
The Solution
Comprehensive financial assessment
Practical guidance
Tailored solutions
Complete transparency
Why this approach worked
Getting started is easy and straightforward
Significant Debt Reduction
By successfully negotiating with her unsecured creditors, we reduced Kath’s personal loan obligations by approximately $30,000. This instantly removed a massive portion of her financial burden and reduced the total principal she needed to refinance.
Secured Lower Interest Rate
Instead of paying high, compounding interest rates across several personal loans, Kath’s remaining debt was rolled into a single home loan. This transitioned her debt to a much lower mortgage interest rate, drastically reducing her required monthly output and making her finances manageable on a single income.
The Result
Kath successfully consolidated her debts into a new home loan, instantly reducing her unsecured debt by approximately $30,000. This outcome bypassed her previous refinancing roadblocks, lowered her overall interest rate, and provided a realistic, stress-free framework for her to regain complete financial independence.
Additional Benefits
Path to repair and rebuild her credit score through a consistent, single payment history
Mental clarity and reduced financial stress
Improved monthly cash flow due to the elimination of high-interest personal loan repayments
Long-term security in successfully keeping the family home
Consolidating Single Mother’s Debt
After losing her fiancé, Sarah was left with loans, mounting childcare costs, medical expenses, and the added pressure of COVID’s impact on the farming industry – leaving her $40,000 in debt across five creditors. As a single mum working full-time, she was exhausted from juggling it all alone. We consolidated her debts into a single affordable plan through a Part IX Debt Agreement, reducing her total debt by $25,000 and helping her avoid bankruptcy.
Protecting The Family Home
When serious health complications forced Mark to reduce his working hours, medical costs piled on top of his mortgage and family expenses, leaving him with over $46,000 in debt across four creditors. Worried about losing his home equity, we set up a Part IX Debt Agreement to consolidate everything into a single affordable payment, reducing his total debt by $17,000 and protecting his family home.
