The challenge

Despite working full-time, the financial fallout from a recent separation left Belinda struggling to manage high-interest debts across multiple demanding lenders.

Relationship breakdown

After separating from her partner, Belinda was left to manage debts accumulated during the relationship on a single income.

Predatory interest rates

Her debt included multiple payday loans charging up to 48% p.a. in interest, making it incredibly difficult to make a dent in the principal amount.

Multiple creditors

Juggling nine different credit facilities resulted in an overwhelming financial burden of $364 in weekly repayments.

Constant harassment

Daily phone calls and SMS messages from aggressive creditors caused severe emotional and financial stress.

The solution

After reviewing Belinda’s circumstances, we identified that a Part IX (9) Debt Agreement would pause her interest, stop the creditor contact, and consolidate her debts into one highly affordable payment.

Comprehensive financial assessment

We evaluated Belinda’s full-time income as a receptionist alongside her $17,811 debt spread chaotically across nine separate facilities.

Practical guidance

We provided clear, supportive advice on how a Part 9 Debt Agreement acts as a legal circuit breaker to stop creditor harassment and pause exorbitant interest rates instantly.

Tailored solutions

We negotiated directly with her nine creditors to settle the overall debt for just $8,932, dropping her weekly repayments from a crippling $364 down to a manageable $58.

Complete transparency

We ensured all daily creditor contact stopped immediately and gave Belinda a clear, structured path to regaining control of her weekly cash flow.

Why this approach worked

Getting started is easy and straightforward

Reason 1

Immediate cash flow relief

By negotiating a Part 9 Debt Agreement, we successfully reduced the weekly repayments from $364 down to just $58. This instantly freed up $306 a week, completely transforming her day-to-day cash flow.

Reason 2

Stopping the cycle of debt

Instead of battling nine separate creditors and suffocating under 48% interest rates, there is now a single, affordable payment plan. This completely stopped the daily harassment and paused all interest, ensuring every dollar paid actually goes towards clearing the debt.

The result

Belinda successfully entered into a Part IX (9) Debt Agreement, experiencing immediate relief from relentless creditor harassment. The outcome paused the crippling 48% interest rates, reduced the overall debt amount by over half, significantly improved her weekly cash flow, and provided a stress-free framework to move forward.

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. Thank you so much, Kylie Bennison keep up the amazing work! Honestly, you deserve a gold medal for the difference you’ve made. I appreciate you more than words can say 🙏🏽✨
