Debt Solutions FAQs
What debt services and solutions does MyBudget offer?
For those needing help with debt relief, we can look to see if we can speak with your creditors, negotiate payments and develop a tailored debt strategy. This may include debt consolidation, mortgage refinancing, a Part IX Debt Agreement, bankruptcy or affordably paying your way out of debt.
Will debt collectors still call me and how do you help?
Generally, collection calls begin to stop as we contact your creditors to advise them that we are managing your financial obligations. However, If a creditor or debt collector does call or contact you, ask them for their best contact number and for your account number/reference, and tell them you’ll be calling us to organise for us to contact them – then call us – we’ll sort the rest.
What is debt consolidation?
Debt consolidation combines multiple existing debts into a single new loan. The aim is to reduce your repayments by paying out your existing debts and rolling their balances into a single, larger loan with an interest rate and repayment that is lower than the sum of the previous, separate loans.
Does MyBudget provide financial advice?
MyBudget is a budgeting, debt solutions, and money management service. We provide a range of structure and support services associated with managing your personal expenses. While we do hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) and Australian Credit Licence (ACL), we are not financial advisors and offer general financial advice only. For personal financial advice or financial product recommendations, we recommend you seek the services of a licensed financial advisor.
What if my expenses are higher than my income?
This is a very common scenario. We may negotiate with your creditors to obtain the lowest monthly payment obligation that fits within your personal or household budget.
We also offer suggestions on how you can tailor your expenses to reflect your income.
What if I get an unexpected bill?
If an emergency or unexpected expense should arise, all you need to do is contact MyBudget. We’ll work with you to find a solution. Ideally, unexpected expenses can be covered with savings set up for this purpose, and we’ll assist you to develop that buffer. Alternatively, we can look to see if we can rework and adjust your budget to accommodate payment of the bill. We’re here to help.
