Others would really like to get rid of their smaller debts so that they can<br />

regain financial control over their situation and stop being forced to pay<br />

heavy penalties and interest fees for making use of short term credit. Debt<br />

review could help them do this.<br />

Finally, some just want to get out of debt. They want to clear the slate and<br />

not owe anyone anything. They want to settle their small and large debts<br />

no matter what it takes. Debt review gives them a plan and way to do this<br />

within a reasonable period of time.<br />

Debt Counsellors often assume that their clients want to get the full benefit<br />

of debt review and would like to settle all their debts entirely. This is, after<br />

all, the basic idea of debt review. The challenge they then face is to help<br />

those who start debt review with some other goals to then adopt this<br />

ultimate goal: to get out of debt.<br />

That said, their client may simply want to use the process to regain control<br />

and gain the time and breathing space they need to turn things around<br />

financially in their lives. In such a case the Debt Counsellor will also be<br />

able to assist the consumer to leave the process earlier but it takes good<br />

communication between Counsellor and client to ensure they are both on<br />

the same page.
