Belinda’s story
Belinda
New South WalesAfter recently separating from her partner, Belinda moved back in with her parents. She was left carrying unsecured debts obtained during her relationship, totalling $17,811 across nine different facilities. This included multiple payday loans charging crippling interest rates of up to 48% p.a. Facing daily phone calls and SMS messages from creditors, and struggling with unmanageable weekly repayments of $364, the situation was heavily impacting her wellbeing. We helped her consolidate her debts, pause the exorbitant interest, and stop the harassment through a Part 9 Debt Agreement.

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.

Why this approach worked
Getting started is easy and straightforward
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.
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.
Additional benefits
Immediate legal protection from creditor harassment, phone calls, and SMS messages
Complete pause on high-interest charges, including predatory payday loans
Significantly improved weekly cash flow to cover daily living expenses comfortably
A realistic, legally binding timeline to become completely debt-free
Protecting the family home
When serious health complications forced Mark to reduce his working hours, medical costs piled on top of his mortgage and family expenses, leaving him with over $46,000 in debt across four creditors. Worried about losing his home equity, we set up a Part 9 Debt Agreement to consolidate everything into a single affordable payment, reducing his total debt by $17,000 and protecting his family home.
Consolidating single mother’s debt
After losing her fiancé, Sarah was left with loans, mounting childcare costs, medical expenses, and the added pressure of COVID’s impact on the farming industry – leaving her $40,000 in debt across five creditors. As a single mum working full-time, she was exhausted from juggling it all alone. We consolidated her debts into a single affordable plan through a Part 9 Debt Agreement, reducing her total debt by $25,000 and helping her avoid bankruptcy.

Good explination Straight forward Friendly Overal lovely experience
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t thank Revive Financial and especially my consultant enough for the support and guidance throughout my Debt Agreement. From the beginning, the process was explained clearly and I always felt like I had someone there to answer my questions and help me through what was a very difficult financial period. The communication, professionalism and understanding I received made such a stressful experience feel much more manageable. Today, having made my final payment and officially completed my Debt Agreement, I feel an incredible sense of relief and achievement. It’s a huge weight off my shoulders and feels like a fresh start financially. I’m extremely grateful for the assistance I received from Revive Financial and would happily recommend them to anyone who may be struggling financially and needs someone supportive and understanding to help them get back on track. Thank you again for helping me get to this point. 5 stars without hesitation! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Incredibly supportive, friendly and helpful team who remained transparent about my current position. I would highly recommend and I appreciate their excellent skills and dedication. They helped relieve me of the worries and pressures debt can have, giving me incredible financial freedom again.
I was desperate. I had made major mistakes with my finances and didn’t know where to turn. Then I read online about Revive. I rang, filled out the documents, talk to Sonia and things looked brighter – there could be a way out of the mess I had got myself in. Over the weeks Sonia was incredibly positive, extremely capable and now the process is over. I’ve been told that things will be better, possibly even more positive than I could dream. Revive( especially Sonia) thank you. Hopefully life will be less stressful and happy because of you!!
Excellent service very professional and reliable
