6 1 You will start paying your restructured instalments immediately in order to prevent further default and prevent termination by Credit Providers Your Debt Counsellor will advise you which accredited PDA to make your payment to and provide you with a proposal, stipulating what your monthly payment will be and how it will be distributed amongst your credit providers by the PDA. The best way to make a payment is by way of Stop Order. 2 Because you are in default (paying a lesser amount than original instalment), credit providers and collection agents will keep on “harassing” you at first, until the Court Order is granted…DO NOT PANNIC…..remind them of the Debt Review and ask them to contact your Debt Counsellor. NO Credit Provider may take legal action against you whilst the Debt Review is pending and you are paying the restructured amount. Interest will not stop accruing on your accounts, it may even be more because you are in default. When the Court Order is granted, the new interest rate's as negotiated by your Debt Counsellor will become effective. 3 You have to make sure you get your monthly statements from your Credit Providers and your distribution statement from your Debt Counsellor, to monitor the progress on the accounts. If these statements do not correlate with each other, immediately notify your Debt Counsellor to follow up and investigate. If you do receive any letter of demand or Court Documents from your Credit Providers, you have to contact and hand it over to your Debt Counsellor IMMEDIATELY to take counter action against them.
