Refer a Client

FOR BUDGET SERVICE USE ONLY

If you have a client who is struggling to make repayments, taking out loans to pay off other loans, has been declined credit, or they just tell you they’re struggling, send them our way. Debtfix was created as a lifeline to help New Zealanders drowning in debt.

Step One

Determine whether or not your client needs assistance

Signs to look out for:

They are missing repayments or consistently accruing fees
They are taking out loans to pay for everyday expenses or to cover existing loan repayments
They are struggling to pay for basic necessities like rent or power, or are already in arrears with those payments
They are using credit for everyday living expenses
They have a sudden change in circumstance i.e. illness, pregnancy, relationship breakdown, death in the family
They are juggling multiple debts
They have been declined for further credit
They tell you they need help

Step Two

Let them know about Debtfix’s services

Debtfix can provide them with debt solution advice free of charge, and work with them on sorting their finances, but they’ll need to be prepared to do the work, be disciplined in their spending, and be honest about their financial situation.

Let your client know that we’re not a money-lending service. Rather, we’ll be working with them to create a personalised plan to solve their debt dilemma.
