Common Questions

The first thing to remember is don’t panic. It’s easy to get overwhelmed when you have debt collectors demanding sums of money you don’t have.

At Just Budget, we want to reassure you that there is always a way forward. 

The first step is to understand where your money goes, how much you owe and how much you can afford to pay while still keeping a roof over your head. This is why our free budget planner is a great starting point. You can do this alone, or with a consultant on the phone.

Next, we can analyse this data to get a clear picture of what to do moving forward. This budget forms part of the proposal we send to creditors, enabling us to negotiate reasonable and fair payment terms, taking the stress off your shoulders.

The last thing we want to do is to impact your credit future in a negative way. Our informal debt arrangement is a way to manage debt without taking the drastic step of a Part 9.

We will never push you towards a Part 9 Agreement without exploring other options first.

While Part 9 Debt Agreements can be an excellent option for some people, it certainly is not the only solution available, and it is definitely not our first option for our clients.

We recommend taking advantage of our free online budget planner to give you an idea of your full financial situation.

Alternatively, you could call or apply with Just Budget from the start, and we’ll do it with you.

Next, you need to get your debts in order. Applying for debt support with Just Budget is the easiest, most time-efficient, and best-value solution. We will do everything for you and support you every step of the way.

However, if you would like to start out on your own, it’s a good idea to prioritise your debts, starting with your home and essential bills:

  • rent or mortgage payments
  • council rates and body corporate fees
  • electricity, gas and water
  • car repayments — if you need your car for work or essential travel

If these are getting the better of you, you can always call creditors and request help with financial hardship.

You can also request financial hardship for less important debts such as:

There is a National Debt Helpline with a step-by-step guide to assist with prioritising your debts.

If this is too much to deal with, Just Budget will support your debt management plan to get you back to financial freedom.

Prioritise your future with debt management

If you qualify, a debt management plan could be finalised within 24 hours, and you could start enjoying the benefits immediately.
