What is Debt Clearance?
Debt clearance is the final step in the debt review process. It involves obtaining a clearance certificate that confirms all debts have been paid or settled. This certificate is crucial for restoring your creditworthiness and financial freedom.
Steps to Achieve Debt Clearance
1. Complete Your Repayment Plan: The first step towards debt clearance is completing the repayment plan agreed upon during the debt review process. This plan outlines how you will repay your outstanding debts over a specified period.
2. Obtain a Clearance Certificate: Once all debts are settled, you can apply for a clearance certificate. This document is issued by your debt counsellor or the National Credit Regulator (NCR) and serves as proof that you are no longer under debt review.
3. Update Your Credit Profile: After receiving your clearance certificate, ensure that your credit profile is updated to reflect your new financial status. This may involve contacting credit bureaus to remove any negative listings associated with the debt review.
Why Debt Clearance Matters
• Restores Financial Independence: Obtaining a clearance certificate marks the end of debt review and the beginning of financial freedom. You regain control over your finances and can apply for credit without the constraints of debt review.
• Improves Credit Score: Successfully completing debt clearance can significantly improve your credit score, making it easier to secure loans, credit cards, and other financial products in the future.
• Peace of Mind: Knowing that you have settled your debts and achieved debt clearance provides peace of mind and a sense of accomplishment.
