The challenge

Despite working full-time as an HR manager, sudden medical emergencies and a loss of dual income left Tracey trapped in a stressful cycle of payday loans.

Unexpected hardship

Tracey required two surgeries within an eight-week period, and concurrently, her partner lost his job due to medical circumstances.

Compounding expenses

Now the sole income earner supporting her partner and young child, everyday living costs forced a reliance on quick cash loans just to stay afloat.

Multiple creditors

Managing repayments across 20 different accounts, including high-interest pay advances and two credit cards, became an impossible financial juggling act.

Failed refinancing

Multiple independent attempts to consolidate the debts into one loan had failed, leaving her stuck with required minimum repayments of $2,247 a fortnight.

The solution

After reviewing Tracey’s situation, we identified that an Informal Agreement would stop the crippling interest rates and provide a realistic, long-term repayment structure.

Comprehensive financial assessment

We evaluated Tracey’s sole income, her family obligations, and the complexity of managing 20 separate accounts.

Practical guidance

We provided a clear pathway to help her break out of the revolving credit cycle by structuring a realistic, consolidated arrangement.

Tailored solutions

We negotiated directly with her creditors to pause further interest on high-rate quick cash loans (some as high as 48% per annum) and place all accounts on long-term arrangements.

Complete transparency

We ensured Tracey understood the exact terms of her new $550 fortnightly repayment plan and her 4.6-year timeline to financial stability.

Why this approach worked

Getting started is easy and straightforward

Reason 1

Halting exorbitant interest

By establishing an Informal Agreement, we successfully stopped further interest from being applied to her quick cash loans – which were previously reaching up to 48% per annum – preventing the debt from spiralling further.

Reason 2

Simplified financial management

Instead of struggling to meet $2,247 in minimum repayments across 20 demanding accounts, Tracey now makes a single, affordable payment of $550 a fortnight, entirely breaking the stressful cycle of relying on payday advances.

The result

Tracey successfully entered into an Informal Agreement, experiencing immediate relief from the pressure of 20 separate creditors. The outcome reduced her minimum repayment obligations by $1,697 a fortnight, stopped crippling interest rates, and provided a clear, manageable 4.6-year path to becoming entirely debt-free.

I cannot thank Georgia at Revive Financial enough for her help. She was incredibly understanding, empathetic and attentive throughout the entire process, while also being so efficient and quick to get everything moving. Having my debt consolidation approved has taken such a huge amount of stress and pressure off me, and Georgia made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel simple and manageable. I’m genuinely so grateful for her support and the way she handled everything. Thank you so much, Georgia!
