Interest rates are typically reduced as part of the debt restructuring negotiation. Common outcomes include:
• Unsecured debt: Often reduced to 0-5% from typical 20-30%
• Vehicle finance: Reduced to prime or below (currently around 11-12%)
• Home loans: Typically remain at or close to the original rate
• Store accounts: Often reduced significantly or frozen
The exact rates depend on negotiations with each creditor, but the overall effect is usually a substantial reduction in the interest you pay over the life of the debt.
