IS IT TIME TO START DEBT REVIEW?<br />

SCARY<br />

LETTERS<br />

Eventually, if the calls, emails and sms don’t get the<br />

response your credit providers want (money) they will<br />

decide enough is enough.<br />

This is when they will send you scary letters that are the final straw,<br />

the final chance to sort things out before they head to court.<br />

The letters will demand you sort things out and mention the National<br />

Credit Act Section 129 (or 130). They will offer you the chance to sort<br />

things out or go talk to a Debt Counsellor.<br />

This really is your final chance to get help before they start legal<br />

action.<br />

These days credit providers have to start legal action or they can<br />

lose the ability or right to collect on the money. This is because of<br />

something called ‘prescription’. They need to collect or lose out. So,<br />

they send you a final warning that they are letting the lawyers loose<br />

on you and taking you to court to get a judgement if you don’t pay or<br />

go into debt review.
