Why this approach worked
Getting started is easy and straightforward
Asset protection
By establishing an Informal Agreement rather than declaring bankruptcy, we successfully protected Emma’s property, ensuring she and her son maintained their housing stability during a difficult time.
Simplified financial management
Instead of facing the stress of four demanding creditors and being rejected for refinancing, Emma now makes a single, affordable payment. This relieved the financial pressure, allowing her to focus her energy on her son’s recovery.
The result
Within 6 weeks of engaging with Revive Financial, Emma successfully consolidated all her debts and experienced immediate financial relief. The outcomes exceeded her expectations in both cash flow improvement and long-term savings.
Additional benefits
Complete peace of mind knowing your home and property are safe from bankruptcy proceedings.
Drastically reduced financial stress, allowing you to focus on family and personal well-being.
Repayments tailored to your current income, not your past earnings.
An end to stressful phone calls and letters from multiple different lenders.
Keeping the workshop open
When COVID hit, John’s mechanic workshop suffered a severe downturn, leaving him with $113,000 in debt across seven creditors. Unable to refinance and determined to avoid bankruptcy to protect his business and family, we negotiated a 5-year Informal Agreement – reducing his debt by 20% into a single affordable payment plan, keeping his business running and his livelihood intact.
Securing interest-free debt relief
A brief period of unemployment left Amanda struggling to manage $30,000 in mixed debts, made worse by the rising cost of living. With no path to refinancing, we negotiated directly with her creditors to secure a 5-year Informal Agreement – removing all interest and reducing her total debt by 30% into a single $110 weekly payment.

I am extremely satisfied with the service Kylie provided. When I first came to you, I was struggling feeling frustrated, depressed and carrying so much stress. There were times during this past month that I felt like giving up, going through so much left me with little energy or drive to keep gathering documents and moving forward. But I am so deeply grateful Kylie was there every step of the way. She patiently guided me, walked me through every part of the process, and gave me 100% support exactly when I needed it most. Thanks to her care and dedication, I was finally able to get everything sorted and signed off today. I truly recommend this service to anyone needing help.
