Avoid bankruptcy with a Debt Agreement

Do you feel yourself spiralling towards bankruptcy? Stop what you’re doing and see if you are eligible for a Part IX Debt Agreement here. It could literally change your life.

Otherwise known as a Formal Debt Agreement, it involves an authorised administrator negotiating a legally binding agreement with your creditors to settle a portion of your unsecured debts over a set period of time.

If approved, your debts will be combined into one with reduced repayments and/or a reduced total debt amount.

This is a great opportunity to become debt-free, although there are a few things to consider, which we discuss further down this page.

What is a Debt Agreement?

What is a Debt Agreement?

Example of credit card debt consolidation
  • Debt Agreement services can be offered by valid AFSA registered debt administrators, such as our affiliate, Debt Fix.
  • A Debt Agreement allows you to pay a percentage of your total debt or to repay the debt over an extended period, depending on your financial capacity.
  • To start a Part IX Debt Agreement, your administrator will negotiate with your creditors, who will then vote on the proposal. If creditors representing more than 50% of the total debt agree, the entire agreement is approved and comes into effect.
  • Once the agreement is active, your debts are combined, interest is immediately frozen, and you will only make payments to the administrator for the duration of the agreement.
  • After completing a Part 9 debt agreement, any debts that were completed will be 100% cleared.

Pat was extremely compassionate and understanding, although theres not that can be done in my visa status, Pat went above and beyond to find a solution. I really want to thank Pat for bringing back a smile on my face by shedding light on my situation. Give that man a raise!

First time ever hearing or dealing with Australian Lending Centre and I can say, they’re probably the best staff I’ve ever had the pleasure of speaking with, especially my consultant Pat. He wasn’t just friendly but patient, understanding and very honest and that helped me a lot. Not sugar coating anything but allowing me to be honest and he was also honest with his responses clarifying reasons why and also honest with the outcome that was available to me. I initially wanted to get a consolidation debt loan but wasn’t able to due to the criteria of the lenders that I wasn’t eligible for however he offered me another solution that might be available to me, and this really made me happy. That there isn’t just one solution and that I wasn’t going to be turned away just like I had been by various lenders. I am very happy with Pat’s customer service, he was genuine and didn’t judge me with my credit history or circumstances which people in the financial industry do do sometimes but he didn’t. That means a lot.

Kathleen was absolutely amazing! Professional, easy, friendly & quick to get results.
Before I made the phone call I was depressed & embarrassed and didn’t know what to do about my stressful financial debt.
I’d spoken to around 4 other loan consolidation companies and they were no help.
I was loosing motivation & very confused but decided to make one last phone call to try and get help to fix my current financial mess.
Thank goodness I called & spoke to Kathleen!
By the end of the call a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I no longer felt stressed.
I couldn’t believe that I actually felt excited and in control of my finances for the first time in a longtime.
Thank you so much Kathleen & team for helping me.
Now I’m no longer so stressed I can be a better Mother & enjoy life more with my peace of mind finally given back to me.
Thank you Kathleen!

Part IX Debt Agreement - considerations

Only unsecured debts can be included

Only unsecured debts such as credit cards, personal loans, and medical bills are covered. Secured debts like mortgages are not included.

Credit history impact

A Part IX Debt Agreement is listed on the individuals credit file for five years (or longer in some cases), affecting their ability to obtain credit during that time.

Must meet eligibility criteria

To qualify, the individual must be insolvent (unable to pay debts on time) and meet specific debt, income, and asset limits set by the Australian Financial Security Authority (AFSA). They also must not have been bankrupt or entered a Part IX debt agreement in the past 10 years.

Falls under bankruptcy act

A Part 9 Debt Agreement provides a formal legal framework that protects both the individual and creditors, allowing for reduced payments and preventing further legal action on included debts. However, it remains on your credit report for five years, and non-compliance can lead to termination and potential bankruptcy.
