If you have been refused a debt consolidation loan, you may wish to consider other options.

Debt Agreement is a legally binding contract by you and your creditors.
Debt Agreements were added to the Bankruptcy Act in 1996 to assist low income earners to repay your debt in an affordable payment plan. The agreement represents a compromise between you and your creditors.
Debt Agreement does not eliminate your debt—it aims to provide affordable payment terms. Debt agreements are supported by Commonwealth legislation and are regulated by ITSA. A formal debt agreement will appear on your credit file for seven years and your name will be listed on the National Personal Insolvency Index for life.
If you think that Debt Agreement may be the best solution for you, contact us today. Our friendly staff will assess your situation.
A Personal Insolvency Agreement is similar to a Debt Agreement, however, it is for people who have higher levels of debt or income. View the statutory thresholds here.

Informal Agreement
Get Debt Free » Blog » Featured Articles
An informal agreement may be best if you have low debt levels (less than $8,000) or you have 1 or 2 creditors only.
When you have more than 2 creditors it may become difficult to reach a solution with all creditors. Even if you reach agreement with these creditors initially, an informal agreement is not legally binding on the creditors. This means that the creditors may refuse to accept your informal proposal at any time (even if you make the payments you agreed) and demand full repayment of their debt.
In our experience if you have more than 2 creditors or owe more than $8,000 (collectively) an informal agreement may be less successful.
If you have more than $8,000 in debt and have more than 2 creditors then a formal debt agreement may be a more successful method to solve your debt problems.
