Reduction Per Credit Type
How NCR Debt Review Works
Your monthly payments to unsecured creditors (loans, credit cards, store accounts) can be reduced by up to 60%.
Vehicle finance reduced by up to 30% — you keep your car.
Home loan reduced by up to 20% — you keep your home.
While under debt review, no new credit can be taken and existing credit facilities cannot be used.
Once all unsecured accounts are settled and only a home loan remains, you can legally exit debt review and re-enter the credit market.
Clearance certificates are issued once all accounts are paid up. Most processes are completed within 3 to 5 years.

Your Partner in Financial Recovery
Debt Mate was founded with a single mission: to help South Africans trapped in debt review regain their financial freedom through legal, ethical, and permanent solutions.
Our Story
For over a decade, we've witnessed the devastating impact that prolonged debt review can have on individuals and families. Many South Africans enter debt review with the hope of a fresh start, only to find themselves trapped in a system that can feel impossible to exit.
That's why we created Debt Mate—to provide a legitimate, legal pathway out of debt review for those who qualify. Our team of registered debt counsellors and ADR practitioners combines deep expertise with genuine compassion for our clients' situations.
We don't promise quick fixes or miracle solutions. Instead, we offer thorough assessments, transparent processes, and dedicated support every step of the way. Our success is measured by the clearance certificates we help secure and the financial freedom we help restore.

Journey Time
Blacklisted & Under Debt Review
Thabo came to us with R380,000 in debt, a flagged credit record, and garnishee orders affecting his salary. He couldn't even open a basic bank account.
Assessment & Strategy
Our team conducted a full financial assessment, identified irregularities in the original debt review process, and initiated legal proceedings for review removal.
Legal Intervention
Through our ADR process (NCRADRA14), we negotiated with creditors and resolved disputes. The debt review flag was legally challenged and prepared for removal.
Credit Restoration
With the debt review removed, we focused on clearing defaults and judgments from Thabo's credit record. Each negative listing was methodically addressed.
Financial Freedom Achieved
Thabo received his clearance certificate, his credit score recovered to 'Good' status, and he was able to qualify for a home loan. A new chapter began.
"I never thought I'd see a clean credit record again. Debt Mate didn't just help me financially—they restored my dignity."
