STAYING IN DEBT REVIEW<br />

AMENDING THE<br />

COURT ORDER<br />

If you are going to be experiencing a big change to your income or<br />

expenditure then with sufficient warning and legal costs involved it<br />

may be possible to motivate a temporary change to your repayment<br />

plan.<br />

Though you should expect to get push back from your credit providers<br />

(who want money every month) this can be arranged if you allow enough<br />

time to prepare everything. The Magistrate may not agree with the request<br />

and there is no guarantee but this is something you should discuss in<br />

detail with your Debt Counsellor weeks in advance. Realize too that there<br />

will be costs and time consequences.<br />

Amending a court order (even temporarily) is a lot of work and is not<br />

always the correct option. Your Debt Counsellor may rather talk to you<br />

about making life style changes like selling assets or renting out part of<br />

your home rather than mess with the existing court order.
