FAQ: What is a debt agreement.
A Debt Agreement puts all of your individual debts into one “pool” these debts need to be unsecured. You make one easy, affordable weekly or fortnightly repayment that covers the Debt Agreement. Legally creditors must stop contacting you and any legal action is stopped, including bankruptcy. Interest charges are frozen. (Return to Top)
