    Parameters for debt restructuring rule solutions

      Parameters for debt restructuring rule solutions Rules applied in the restructuring of consumer debt obligations are a critical success factor in the debt review process. Such rules, in order to succeed in the process have to:

    • Resolve the over-indebtedness situation within the parameters of the Act and any voluntary concessions agreed to by the credit providers;
    • Treat all credit providers and categories of credit agreements fairly and consistently in accordance with the Act;
    • Be applied in a manner that would guarantee the integrity of application and calculations in order to gain the trust and acceptance of credit providers; and
    • Generate proposals that are:
    • Standardized to enable efficient and consistent processing; and
    • Contain standardized data/information that allows efficient and consistent consideration of and responses to debt re-arrangement proposals by credit providers.

    Legal context

    These parameters mirror the rearrangement options listed in NCA s 86(7)(c)(ii), so any compliant system can produce a proposal a magistrate can confirm under s 87.
