In South Africa, thousands of people are living under the shadow of a debt review flag on their credit profile—and many don’t realise how deeply it can affect their lives beyond just applying for a loan.

While being creditworthy is the obvious motivation to exit debt review, there are far more serious and long-term implications that are costing South Africans opportunities every day.

1. Missed Job Opportunities

Many industries—especially in finance, legal, security, and government—require candidates to have a clean credit record. Being under debt review can automatically disqualify you from job opportunities or even promotions. Imagine being the right person for the role, but being excluded because of one flag on your profile.

This isn’t about wanting to swipe a credit card—this is about your livelihood. And if you’re under debt review, that flag could be standing between you and your next career move.

2. Struggling to Rent a Property

Landlords often instruct estate agents to vet only tenants with a clean credit record. That means if you’re under debt review, you may find it incredibly difficult to secure a rental property—no matter how well you’re managing your finances now.

It’s not always about your affordability—it’s about that one flag, and agents who see it as a red light.

3. Your Children’s Future is Affected Too

Here’s a harsh truth: if you’re flagged under debt review, you may not be able to stand surety for your child’s student loan. That means your child could miss out on university, bursary top-ups, or study finance—all because your name carries a mark from a process you may no longer need.

We’ve seen families heartbroken by this, especially when they waited too long to address their status.

Don’t Wait for Opportunity to Knock—Prepare for It Now

Many South Africans wait for the right moment to make a change—maybe when they get a new job, when their child finishes school, or when a big opportunity comes up. But here’s the reality: if you wait for the opportunity before preparing for it, you’ll miss it.

Debt review removal is not a quick fix. It can take weeks to secure a court date and even longer to finalise the removal, depending on the number of appearances needed. That’s why you need to act before the opportunity arrives—so you’re ready to receive it when it does.

And let’s be clear—not everyone qualifies for removal. You need to meet certain criteria, and we’re upfront about that. You can read more here to see if you qualify:

Debt Review Isn’t the Enemy—But It’s Not for Everyone

We want to be fair: debt review is a powerful tool. It protects overindebted clients, especially those with assets like a home or a car, and gives them breathing room. But the problem in South Africa is that debt review has become a one-size-fits-all solution—and that’s where it fails.

We’ve seen clients with no assets and only short-term debt placed under review, when they were actually working towards buying property. Instead of helping them, the process delayed their progress.

That’s why at Premier Finance, we don’t see debt review removal as an escape—we see it as a correction. For people who were placed under the process incorrectly, or for those who’ve worked hard to recover and no longer need it, we offer a way forward.
