    Can I enter debt counselling if I have already been summonsed or handed over?

    You can still apply for debt counselling to protect the rest of your accounts if you have already been summonsed on some accounts.

    Important points:

    • Accounts already summonsed may not be included in debt review

    • We can still negotiate affordable repayments on summonsed accounts

    • All other accounts will receive full legal protection

    • Acting quickly is essential to protect remaining accounts

    The sooner you apply, the more accounts we can protect. If you've received a Section 129 letter, you have 10 business days to apply for debt counselling before that account may be excluded.
