DEBT COUNSELLING – THE NOBLE PROFESSION
IT’S A BALANCING ACT
Stressed consumers often look to Debt Counsellors as
a knight in shining armour who can remove all their
financial woes with the wave of a wand.
This is of course, unrealistic. Rather, Debt Counsellors play a role
balancing the consumers’ needs with the credit providers’ rights while
also assisting the courts in making debt restructuring easy.
Working successfully in the industry means managing consumer
expectations and trying to maintain good relationships with those who
you sometimes have to argue against at Court. It’s a tricky balancing act.
