Why Choose NDRC as Your Debt Counsellor?
Whether you need protection from creditors and an affordable repayment plan, or you are ready to be legally removed from debt review, the outcome affects your credit record, your assets, and your financial future. A correctly handled process can stop legal action, reduce monthly repayments, or restore your ability to apply for credit — but only if it is done lawfully and with proven experience.
This is a regulated process under the National Credit Act, where results depend on proper negotiation with credit providers, accredited oversight, and a track record of successfully helping consumers reach clearance or resolution.

Client: Michael N. - Durban
Original Debt: R250,000
Monthly Payment Reduced: R1,800 to R450
Michael was contacted by scammers demanding R1,800 (VAT excl.) for his debt review clearance certificate. According to NCR guidelines, this should be free if up to date with aftercare fees, or maximum R450 by another debt counsellor. We saved him from the scam, charged only R450, then investigated his debts and discovered prescribed debt he had no proof for—writing off over R250,000.
- Protected from R1,800 scam attempt

Thandi was quoted by us for debt review removal but went elsewhere thinking she found a bargain after being offered a 'cheaper' rate. She paid R6,000 to another company and waited months—only to discover nothing had been done. No court application, no progress, just excuses. She came back to us, we assessed her situation, followed the proper court removal route, and she was cleared within 3 months. By month 6, she walked into a dealership and bought a car on credit—proof her credit record was fully restored.
- Cleared through proper court process in 3 months
