Belinda’s story
Belinda
New South WalesAfter recently separating from her partner, Belinda moved back in with her parents. She was left carrying unsecured debts obtained during her relationship, totalling $17,811 across nine different facilities. This included multiple payday loans charging crippling interest rates of up to 48% p.a. Facing daily phone calls and SMS messages from creditors, and struggling with unmanageable weekly repayments of $364, the situation was heavily impacting her wellbeing. We helped her consolidate her debts, pause the exorbitant interest, and stop the harassment through a Part 9 Debt Agreement.

Why this approach worked
Getting started is easy and straightforward
Immediate cash flow relief
By negotiating a Part 9 Debt Agreement, we successfully reduced the weekly repayments from $364 down to just $58. This instantly freed up $306 a week, completely transforming her day-to-day cash flow.
Stopping the cycle of debt
Instead of battling nine separate creditors and suffocating under 48% interest rates, there is now a single, affordable payment plan. This completely stopped the daily harassment and paused all interest, ensuring every dollar paid actually goes towards clearing the debt.
The result
Belinda successfully entered into a Part IX (9) Debt Agreement, experiencing immediate relief from relentless creditor harassment. The outcome paused the crippling 48% interest rates, reduced the overall debt amount by over half, significantly improved her weekly cash flow, and provided a stress-free framework to move forward.
Additional benefits
Immediate legal protection from creditor harassment, phone calls, and SMS messages
Complete pause on high-interest charges, including predatory payday loans
Significantly improved weekly cash flow to cover daily living expenses comfortably
A realistic, legally binding timeline to become completely debt-free
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 9 Debt Agreement to consolidate everything into a single affordable payment, reducing his total debt by $17,000 and protecting his 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 9 Debt Agreement, reducing her total debt by $25,000 and helping her avoid bankruptcy.
