    During Debt Review

    Can I get credit while under debt review?

    No, you cannot obtain any new credit while under debt review. This is both a legal requirement and a protection for you.

    • Credit providers are prohibited from extending credit to consumers flagged as 'under debt review'

    • This prevents you from falling deeper into debt during rehabilitation

    • All credit bureaus list you as being under debt review

    • Attempting to obtain credit can jeopardise your debt review status

    This restriction is removed once you receive your Clearance Certificate (Form 19).
