Sarah’s story
Sarah
QueenslandAfter losing her fiancé, Sarah was left with a $30,000 loan. With childcare costs, medical expenses, and the impact of COVID on the farming industry, her debts grew to almost $40,000 across five creditors. Exhausted from juggling everything alone, we helped her consolidate her debts into one affordable plan to avoid bankruptcy.

The challenge
Despite working full-time, unexpected life events and compounding financial pressures left Sarah trapped in an unmanageable debt cycle.
Unexpected hardship
The tragic loss of her fiancé left Sarah solely responsible for a $30,000 loan.
Compounding expenses
Ongoing childcare costs for her young son, medical expenses, and industry disruptions pushed her total debt to $40,000.
Multiple creditors
Managing payments across five different creditors became an overwhelming administrative and financial burden.
Risk of Bankruptcy
The sheer volume of debt and the cost of raising her dependent alone put her at severe risk of declaring bankruptcy.
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 establishing a Part 9 Debt Agreement, we successfully negotiated Sarah’s total obligations down from $40,000 to $15,000, instantly removing $25,000 of financial burden.
Simplified financial management
Instead of juggling five demanding creditors while caring for a toddler, Sarah now makes a single, affordable payment under one manageable plan, entirely avoiding the severe consequences of bankruptcy.
The result
Sarah successfully executed a Part IX (9) Debt Agreement, experiencing immediate financial relief and peace of mind. The outcome eliminated the threat of bankruptcy and provided a realistic, stress-free framework to become debt-free.
Halving family credit debt
When John’s health left him unable to work, the family relied on credit cards to survive, accumulating over $70,000 in debt. Unable to refinance their mortgage, we helped them establish a Part 9 Debt Agreement. This reduced their total debt by 55% into a single affordable monthly payment, ultimately saving their family home.
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.
