How Tom reduced his monthly repayments by $650 to manage cost of living pressures
Tom’s story
Despite working full-time in sales, rising cost-of-living pressures and unexpected expenses left Tom overcommitted on credit. Juggling four payday loans totalling $5,500, his $850 monthly repayments became entirely unmanageable. After an initial hardship period, Tom still required assistance to get back on track. We successfully negotiated an extended Temporary Hardship Plan (THP) with his creditors, drastically reducing his monthly obligations to just $200 for three months to provide vital short-term financial relief.

The challenge
Despite working full-time in sales, the rising cost of living and unexpected expenses left Tom trapped in an unmanageable cycle of short-term debt.
The solution
Comprehensive financial assessment
Creditor negotiation
Tailored short-term relief
Complete transparency
The result
Tom successfully entered his second Revive Temporary Hardship Plan, experiencing an immediate reduction in financial stress. All four creditors approved the heavily reduced payment plan, giving him three months of short-term relief to manage the rising cost of living and regain control of his budget.
Pausing high-interest payday loans
Losing his job left Nick, a single father, overwhelmed by $10,000 across eight debts – mostly high-interest payday loans – with $3,000 in monthly repayments he could no longer afford. With no assets and relying on Centrelink, traditional debt solutions weren’t the right fit. We secured a Temporary Hardship Pause, giving him a 3-month break from all repayments so he could focus on getting back into work.
Securing urgent hardship relief
Facing homelessness with two young children, Amy was stretched beyond her means on a part-time income supplemented by Centrelink. With a secured Swoosh loan and Afterpay debt totalling $4,000, she was paying $550 a month – money she simply didn’t have. We secured hardship approval from Swoosh, who don’t typically offer relief on secured debts, giving Amy the breathing room she needed to focus on finding a home for her family.
