Credit Matters - They have effective debt solutions

Credit Matters can offer you instant relief when it comes to debt review.

Credit Matters is one of South Africa’s largest debt review companies. They have been helping South Africans cope with their debt since 2007 after the National Credit Act became law. Since then, they have helped many South African citizens with their unfavourable financial statuses.

Credit Matters has a skilled team of experts 

Many South Africans struggle with over-indebtedness, and they understand how frustrating it can be when you are no longer able to pay your accounts.

Their employees have years of experience, which has enabled them to bring you the most amazing service. One of the greatest benefits you can expect to experience is their negotiating skills with various South African creditors that will help to get you a lower instalment rate.

Building long-lasting relationships

Credit Matters aims to build long-term relationships with its customers that are built on trust and transparency. The debt counsellor assigned to you will assist you throughout your term with them and will strive to deliver positive results.

They pride themselves on being trustworthy and reliable and will process your application with discretion. You can be sure that your personal information is always secure with them.

They want a positive outcome for every client

When you find yourself over-indebted, Credit Matters can offer you a solution that will make your debt something of the past.

Large amounts of debt can be in the form of personal loans or credit cards and the first step toward a better financial future is to get help. Credit Matters will negotiate for a better payment structure with your creditors, and they will encourage you to manage your finances better.

Debt review

Their debt review option is tailored to your needs. You will be protected from losing your assets and they will also help you with any legal issues you have because of your debt and keep you from becoming blacklisted. With smaller repayments each month you will have a little extra cash at the end of the month.

Get a credit report done

All South Africans can have a credit report done each year, and the great part is it's free. Credit Matters can give you a credit report and assessment on how you can become debt-free.

The clearance certificates

After your debt is paid back in full, you will receive a clearance certificate confirming that you are free of debt. The clearance certificate will clear your name at the credit bureaus, and you will qualify for credit again.
