Retrenchment has become a growing reality in today's market...
Early action can prevent a devastating situation.
1. Contact your debt counsellor and inform them of the situation.
2. Send through the letters received from your employer indicating the retrenchment information.
3. The consumer must contact the credit providers to enquire about credit life policies and whether it is still active and will cover the retrenchment.
4. Information obtained from credit providers must be supplied to your debt counsellor.
5. Your debt counsellor will supply the relevant creditors with a 17.3 indicating that there has been a change in circumstances.
6. Payments must be kept up to date or as agreed with your debt counsellor as far as possible to avoid credit providers terminating the debt review process due to a default arising.
Retrenchment is a very scary and sometimes financially crippling situation, talk to your debt counsellor and always keep them updated with your new details.....
