Will My Fees Change?<br />

If the NCR issue a new fee guideline in the next few months or next year<br />

it is unlikely to impact on the fees you currently pay for debt review.<br />

If you are under debt review, you probably have a court order which<br />

sets out the payment plan, month by month, until your debts are repaid.<br />

This calculation (along with the proposals which your credit providers<br />

received) factor in the fees that you have agreed to pay. To change these<br />

fees half way through the process could throw off all those calculations<br />

and lead to you breaking the requirements of the court order or<br />

agreements with your creditor providers. Thus it is unlikely that if you<br />

are already under debt review your fees will change.<br />

New consumers entering debt review after such a guideline is issued<br />

would potentially pay according to the NCR fee guideline (if that is what<br />

the debt counselling firm decides to charge).
