The challenge

Despite working two jobs, the rising cost of living left Sharon trapped in a stressful cycle, forcing her to choose between paying for basic necessities or servicing her debt.

Cost of living pressures

Increased daily expenses meant Sharon’s dual income was no longer enough to cover the basics alongside her debt obligations.

Compounding expenses

Debts quickly accumulated across credit cards, the ATO, and Buy Now Pay Later services.

Multiple creditors

Managing payments across eight different accounts (including Plenti, Zip, Kogan, Afterpay, and CCFS) became an overwhelming administrative burden.

Unsustainable repayments

Her required minimum repayments had reached a crippling $791 per fortnight, making it impossible to get ahead.

The solution

After reviewing Sharon’s situation, we identified that a Part IX (9) Debt Agreement would provide immediate relief from her high fortnightly repayments and consolidate her accounts into one manageable plan.

Comprehensive financial assessment

We evaluated Sharon’s income from both of her jobs, the impact of current living costs, and her debt spread across eight creditors.

Practical guidance

We provided a clear, non-judgemental overview of how a Part 9 Debt Agreement could legally consolidate her various accounts and ATO debt.

Tailored solutions

We negotiated directly with her creditors to slash her required minimums from $791 down to just $260 a fortnight, reducing her total debt to $20,020.

Complete transparency

We ensured Sharon understood the terms of her new repayment plan and the exact three-year timeline for her financial recovery.

Why this approach worked

Getting started is easy and straightforward

Reason 1

Drastic repayment reduction

By establishing a Debt Agreement, we successfully reduced Sharon’s fortnightly obligations by $531. Dropping her payments from $791 to an affordable $260 instantly freed up vital cash flow for her essential living expenses.

Reason 2

Simplified financial management

Instead of juggling eight demanding creditors and Buy Now Pay Later accounts while working two jobs, Sharon now makes a single, affordable payment under one manageable plan, entirely removing the stress of falling behind.

The result

Sharon successfully executed a Part IX (9) Debt Agreement, experiencing immediate financial relief and peace of mind. The outcome eliminated the stress of choosing between groceries and bills, lowered her total debt, and provided a realistic, stress-free framework to become debt-free in three years.

> ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can't recommend Revive Financial highly enough. From the very beginning, the entire process was handled with professionalism, kindness, and genuine care. A special thank you to Tuanita Walsh, who has been absolutely amazing throughout my journey. She took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me updated every step of the way, and always made me feel supported rather than judged. During what was a very stressful time financially, her compassion, patience, and reassurance made such a difference. It's rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such a personal touch. Tuanita genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Thank you, Tuanita, and the team at Revive Financial, for helping me regain control of my finances. I truly appreciate everything you've done and wouldn't hesitate to recommend your services to anyone needing financial assistance.
