NCR’S CREDIT INDUSTRY FORUM DISCUSSING

CHANGES TO DEBT COUNSELLING FEE

GUIDELINE

The NCR from time to time release fee guidelines that it

feels the industry should follow. These fee guidelines are

often matched by debt review proposal software (which

helps Debt Counsellors quickly make proposals to credit

providers).

At present the NCR are asking members of the Credit Industry

Forum to consider a fee structure which asks attorneys to

wait to get paid or to perhaps not get paid if clients drop out

of the process.

They have also proposed a fee structure that would see

Debt Counsellors wait on courts and consumers for a long

time to pay a quarter of their fees.

Many Debt Counsellors and Attorneys are worried that such

a fee structure will prevent them from being able to operate

successfully and could wipe out the industry.
