For Immediate release October 2014
National Credit Regulator commissions an investigation into various credit providers
regarding shortfalls arising from the sales of repossessed consumers' motor vehicles
and houses
The National Credit Regulator (NCR) has announced that it is commissioning an investigation
into various credit providers regarding shortfalls arising from sales of consumers' repossessed
motor vehicles and houses by credit providers.
The investigation is part of the effort by the NCR to ensure that credit providers sell consumers'
repossessed motor vehicles and houses as soon as reasonably practicable or for the best price
reasonably obtainable.
"Credit providers should ensure that they sell consumers' repossessed motor vehicles and
houses as soon as reasonably practicable or for the best price reasonably obtainable so that
consumers are not liable to pay shortfalls that are substantially high. This is an issue of serious
concern to the NCR, says Nomsa Motshegare, Chief Executive Officer of the NCR. "

“The question that a lot of people need to ask themselves is whether they are financially fit or not.” And if you’re not, what are you doing about it?
“The question that a lot of people need to ask themselves is whether they are financially fit or not.” And if you’re not, what are you doing about it?
The answer, says Luke, is dead simple: go to Credit Counseling SA He says: “Here you need to start exercising your financial wisdom.”
You need to take a long, hard look, do some self-scrutiny and ask yourself the following questions:
1. Am I in a financial mess? Be honest in answering this question, urges Luke.
2. Am I living a fake life I cannot afford?
3. How long am I going to live like this?
4. Why am I not able to sleep at night?
Creditors keep offering us more credit, and for one simple reason: “they all want you to be poor for the rest of your life”.
Says Luke: “They don't care about your children's future, they will fall into the same trap as you.” In closing, he says: “Remember one thing, the ball is in your court when it comes to financial freedom."

Stop living a fake life, get real about your finances and put yourself out of the debt monster's reach, says a Fin24 user.
