Informal Debt Agreement

An Informal Debt Agreement is when we negotiate a permanent freeze on your interest – allowing you to pay your debts back over a 5 year period, all with one easy payment! Unlike a Part IX Debt Agreement, this WILL NOT default your credit file.

What is an Informal Debt Agreement?

In simple terms, an Informal Agreement is a payment plan put in place with your creditors without impacting your credit file. In general, the interest is frozen and the debt is paid off between 3 – 5 years.

An Informal Debt Arrangement is not a formal agreement recognised by legislation. It is an agreement between you and your creditor.

It allows you to resolve your debt issues without suffering the harsh consequences of Part 9 Debt Agreement or Bankruptcy and does not impact your credit file. Once you enter into an Informal Debt Agreement, your creditors cease recovery actions and those harassing collection calls cease.

The great thing about an informal debt arrangement is that you will not be listed on the National Personal Insolvency Register for life and there are no restrictions on your income, travel, homeowner status, employment licenses and being a director of a company.

The Pregnant Pause

Debt $90,000 in Credit Card & Personal Loans
Solution – Informal Debt Agreement

Overview
Our client started experiencing financial hardship when his wife fell pregnant with their first child and faced complications during the whole pregnancy and after the birth of their child. This warranted ongoing medical attention and she wasn’t able to work.

Our client wanting to do whatever it takes applied for credit cards and personal loans to get by and fell into the trap of using his credit facilities to cover medical costs and the shortfall in income due to his wife not working.

Soon his financial situation spiralled out of control and our client was unable not meet his debt repayment obligations. This significantly impacted our clients mental state, as being the sole provider for the family this placed significant amount of stress on him. Feeling trapped and stressed with the constant bombardment of phone calls from debt collections departments, our client contacted ChapterTwo for help.

How we helped:
We negotiated with the six creditors on his behalf and reached a Long Term Arrangement that our client could afford
The interest was waived on most of his debts and significantly reduced on the rest
Our client now pays the principle off over the next 5 years
