What happens if<br />

consumers under<br />

debt review lose<br />

their jobs and can’t<br />

make their regular<br />

monthly debt review<br />

repayment?<br />

If the consumer has let the credit<br />

provider insurance lapse, then<br />

unfortunately the credit provider will<br />

pursue them and their family in the<br />

normal legal collections process.<br />

However, if the customer has the<br />

Meerkat credit protection plan and<br />

it is a valid retrenchment claim, then<br />

Meerkat will make the debt review<br />

payments for all the obligations that<br />

are covered, for up to 12 months,<br />

and the customer can enjoy peace<br />

of mind, and focus on finding<br />

employment. An important aspect<br />

for the DC, is that we pay the claim<br />

via Hyphen, thereby insuring that the<br />

Aftercare fees are also maintained.<br />

What happens if a<br />

consumer under<br />

debt review gets<br />

injured and cannot<br />

earn income (for<br />

a short or longer<br />

time)?<br />

If the customer is injured and has<br />

a valid temporary disability claim,<br />

then Meerkat will pay their debt<br />

review obligations until they are<br />

able to return to work, or for up to<br />

6 months. If the injury persists and<br />

the customer cannot return to work,<br />

then the disability is considered<br />

permanent, and then Meerkat will<br />

settle the outstanding obligations<br />

at that time. And, again, the DC<br />

continues to receive their Aftercare<br />

fees.
