What Is Debt Review Removal?

Debt Review Removal refers to the process of exiting Debt Review. Depending on the consumer’s circumstances and the stage of the Debt Review process, this may involve a withdrawal process or a court application.

Debt Review Removal Criteria

  • The consumer is currently under a Debt Review programme.
  • A payment has been made and is registered with the National Credit Regulator.
  • The consumer can demonstrate that they are no longer over-indebted.
  • The original Debt Counsellor cannot be traced.
Important: Eligibility, process requirements, and outcomes depend on individual circumstances, the status of the Debt Review, and applicable legislation.

How Debt Review Removal May Work

The process for exiting Debt Review depends on whether a Form 17.2 notice has been issued and on the consumer’s current financial circumstances.

Before Form 17.2

A consumer may be able to withdraw from Debt Review before a Form 17.2 notice has been issued, subject to the applicable process and requirements.

After Form 17.2

Once a Form 17.2 notice has been issued, exiting Debt Review may require a formal court application.

Court process

A court may consider whether the consumer is no longer over-indebted. Legal representation may be required, and outcomes depend on the court’s assessment of the individual case.

Important: Credit Rescue cannot guarantee that a court will grant an application, that a Debt Review flag will be removed, or that credit bureaus will update a consumer’s credit profile. Outcomes and timeframes depend on individual circumstances, court requirements, and applicable legislation.
