NCR Debt Counselling Circular No. 4 of 2008
The purpose of this circular is to inform you of the training sessions that will be conducted for Debt Counsellors during the months of June until August 2008. These training sessions are a result of discussions that were held between major credit providers and a select group of Debt Counsellors on challenges they were both facing in dealing with debt counselling cases. These discussions began on the 28th November 2007.
The objective of the training workshops is to update you on new rules and standardized procedures that were agreed upon by the two parties on communicating with credit providers, debt restructuring, submission of proposals and taking matters to court that would be generally acceptable to most credit providers. These rules will ensure speedy resolution of most debt counselling cases and less referrals to the magistrate courts.
