**A promise to pay less. Then an R8,000 fee.**

John was already under debt review with Meerkat when another debt counsellor called, promising a lower monthly payment if he switched.

After he transferred, they wanted R8,000 to “restructure” his debt. But Meerkat had already arranged a court order for his repayment plan.

He eventually transferred back to Meerkat.

When money is tight, a lower payment sounds tempting. But switching debt counsellors does not cancel your existing court order or automatically reduce what you must pay.

💚 Before signing anything, get the proposed payment and all fees in writing. If you’re struggling with your current Meerkat payment, please talk to us. There’s no shame in asking for help.

The school shoes that suddenly don’t fit. The car licence renewal. The December trip home.

These costs come around regularly, but finding the money can still be difficult.

Pick one expense you know is coming. Check what it will cost and how many paydays you have before it’s due. Then work out what you can realistically put aside.

You might not manage the whole amount. Having some of it ready can still help.

We’ve put together a few reminders to help you plan. Save this post for your next payday. 💚

Sometimes the heaviest thing you carry is the worry about making it to payday. 💚

The bills. The debt repayments. The unexpected expense when there’s already nothing left.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to acknowledge how exhausting financial stress can feel. It can follow you into bedtime, affect your relationships and make it difficult to switch off.

If this feels familiar, you deserve support, without judgement.

You don’t have to solve everything today. A first step could be talking to someone you trust or asking for help to understand your financial options. If the worry is affecting your day-to-day wellbeing, reach out to a mental health professional too.

At Meerkat, we’re here to help you understand your options when debt feels overwhelming. Send us a private message or visit www.meerkat.co.za.

We’re looking out for you.

Your salary hasn’t changed. Your monthly repayments might.

The repo rate has gone up again. If you have a home loan, car finance or other debt with a variable interest rate, this could put even more pressure on a budget that’s already stretched.

If you’re using one account to pay another, falling behind on repayments, or lying awake wondering how you’ll cover everything, please reach out. You don’t have to work through it alone.

Meerkat can look at your situation with you and explain whether debt counselling is the right option. We’ll help you understand your next step, without judgement.
