The challenge
Despite her best efforts, a sudden drop in income combined with a family health crisis left Emma trapped in an unmanageable financial situation.
Reduced earnings
A sudden change in Emma’s employment status significantly reduced her taking-home pay, making it impossible to keep up with standard repayments.
Family health crisis
While navigating her reduced income, Emma also had to prioritise care and support for her son, who was battling mental health issues.
Multiple creditors
Emma accumulated $17,000 in debt spread across four different creditors. With her reduced income, she was unable to secure refinancing.
Risk of bankruptcy and asset loss
The financial strain put Emma at serious risk of bankruptcy, which she desperately wanted to avoid in order to protect her property and provide stability for her son.

Why this approach worked
Getting started is easy and straightforward
Asset protection
By establishing an Informal Agreement rather than declaring bankruptcy, we successfully protected Emma’s property, ensuring she and her son maintained their housing stability during a difficult time.
Simplified financial management
Instead of facing the stress of four demanding creditors and being rejected for refinancing, Emma now makes a single, affordable payment. This relieved the financial pressure, allowing her to focus her energy on her son’s recovery.
The result
Within 6 weeks of engaging with Revive Financial, Emma successfully consolidated all her debts and experienced immediate financial relief. The outcomes exceeded her expectations in both cash flow improvement and long-term savings.
Additional benefits
Complete peace of mind knowing your home and property are safe from bankruptcy proceedings.
Drastically reduced financial stress, allowing you to focus on family and personal well-being.
Repayments tailored to your current income, not your past earnings.
An end to stressful phone calls and letters from multiple different lenders.
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.
Securing interest-free debt relief
A brief period of unemployment left Amanda struggling to manage $30,000 in mixed debts, made worse by the rising cost of living. With no path to refinancing, we negotiated directly with her creditors to secure a 5-year Informal Agreement – removing all interest and reducing her total debt by 30% into a single $110 weekly payment.
