    What happens if creditors don't accept my repayment plan?

    If one or more creditors reject your proposed repayment plan, we can still proceed:

    • We apply to the Magistrate's Court for a debt restructuring order

    • The court reviews whether the proposal is reasonable and fair

    • Courts generally support reasonable proposals made in good faith

    • Once the court issues an order, it is binding on all creditors

    In our experience, most creditors prefer to accept a reasonable proposal rather than face costly legal proceedings. Court applications are typically successful when the consumer can show genuine over-indebtedness and a sincere intent to repay.
