Debt Mediation in South Africa

An Informal Way to Restructure Your Debt Without a Court Order

Debt mediation is a voluntary, informal process that helps you renegotiate your existing debt directly with your credit providers — without adding new loans or going through lengthy court processes. It’s a practical option for South Africans who may not qualify for debt review but still need fast, effective financial relief.

Unlike debt review, which is a formal legal process, debt mediation provides a flexible, out-of-court solution to reduce your monthly instalments and make repayment more manageable.
