STAY POSITIVE ABOUT DEBT REVIEW<br />

AVOID HAVING<br />

SECOND THOUGHTS<br />

It is not uncommon for people facing big life changes<br />

to have second thoughts e.g. wedding day jitters,<br />

resigning from their job or switching accommodation.<br />

Buyers remorse can also be a reason. The term ‘buyers remorse’<br />

covers when a consumer buys a product, a new phone for example,<br />

and then has a panicky feeling that they may have spent too much<br />

or perhaps got the wrong product. Although this feeling often passes<br />

quickly, it is not uncommon.<br />

When it comes to debt review, many people who start the process<br />

suddenly panic, and think they have over committed to a legal<br />

process that locks them into paying off their debt instead of being able<br />

to try pick and choose what they pay and when they will pay it.<br />

Resulting in as many as 1 in 5 people who start the process never<br />

even making the first payment. This can leave them with a debt<br />

review status on their credit reports, but none of the benefits of a<br />

manageable repayment plan.
