NCR FEE GUIDELINE TO BE REVIEWD

DCASA RESEARCH

IDENTIFIED A HUGE

PROBLEM

DCASA Research, presented back in 2014, revealed

a growing problem in the industry. It was becoming

more expensive for Debt Counsellor to help people

and the fees had not increased in several years.

To stay in business, Debt Counsellors were progressively paying their

staff less and less money. Debt Counsellors themselves were also

drawing smaller and smaller monthly salaries (an average of +- R11

000 in 2014). It also revealed that the process was now taking more

than twice as long as it had back in 2009.

This critical research revealed that reckless credit investigations would

extend the amount of work Debt Counsellors did, by at least 100% if

even a single case of reckless credit was possibly involved.
