ARE YOU WORKING WITH YOUR PDA?<br />

KEEP COOL<br />

<strong>Debtfree</strong> magazine gets monthly emails from readers asking for help<br />

with their PDA or Debt Counsellor. Sadly, many consumers don’t<br />

know the name or contact number of which firm or even the PDA<br />

they are dealing with.<br />

Many mix up the role of the PDA with that of the Debt Counsellor. They<br />

may talk about their Debt Counsellor Hyphen (meaning their money<br />

is distributed via Hyphen PDA and they see it on their email or get a<br />

notification via SMS). This shows a huge gap in their knowledge and the<br />

initial training offered to them by their Debt Counsellor.<br />

Because your PDA will communicate with you via email or SMS they need<br />

to be informed promptly if you change phone numbers or get a new email<br />

address. If you forget to notify them of a change, you may suddenly stop<br />

getting updates and statements. You may then blame them but actually the<br />

fault is your own. Be sure to let both your Debt Counsellor and PDA know<br />

of any such changes.
