Frequently Asked Questions

How many debt review attorneys are there in Pietermaritzburg?

There are 3 debt review attorneys listed on the LPC public register for Pietermaritzburg. The LPC Verified badge on each profile confirms presence on that register at our last import, not an independent practising check.

What is the difference between debt review and sequestration?

Debt review is a voluntary process under the National Credit Act - you repay restructured debt over time and are protected from legal action. Sequestration (voluntary or compulsory) is an insolvency process where the estate is surrendered to creditors. An attorney advises which option suits your situation.

Can creditors still sue me while under debt review?

Once a debt review court order is granted, creditors may not proceed with legal action or repossess assets while you comply with the repayment plan. If you miss payments, creditors can terminate the review. An attorney helps ensure the order is correctly granted and maintained.
