A Smarter Alternative to Managing Overwhelming Debt

Debt mediation is an alternative approach to managing and restructuring debt. It provides an opportunity for individuals to manage their debt without undergoing legal proceedings or court intervention.

Debt mediation can empower individuals to take control of their financial situation, reduce financial stress, and work toward becoming debt-free.

Did You Know?
Up to 78.2%

of South Africans' income goes directly to debt repayments. Debt mediation is the structured solution to break that cycle.

I was spending nearly 80% of my salary on debt repayments and couldn't even afford groceries by the 20th. I was ashamed to tell anyone. Lower My Debts handled everything โ€” no courts, no embarrassment โ€” and within weeks my monthly payments dropped by nearly half. I finally slept through the night for the first time in two years.

Creditors were calling my workplace. I was this close to losing my job because of the stress. A colleague told me about Lower My Debts. They stepped in, negotiated directly with every single creditor, and the calls stopped completely. What felt impossible became a clear plan. I'm now on track to be debt-free in 3 years.

I didn't think there was a way out. I had four accounts in arrears, a judgment against my name, and no idea where to start. Lower My Debts took the entire burden off my shoulders. They had my judgment removed, negotiated my accounts down, and explained everything in plain language. I genuinely cannot believe how different my life feels.

Everything You Need to Know

Plain answers to the questions South Africans ask most about Debt Mediation.

What exactly is Debt Mediation?
Debt mediation is a structured, out-of-court process where a professional mediator negotiates between you and your creditors to reach a new, reduced repayment agreement. Unlike debt review, it requires no legal proceedings and leaves no long-term flag on your credit profile.
Is Debt Mediation the same as Debt Review?
No. Debt Review is a formal legal process that goes through the courts and leaves a flag on your credit bureau profile. Debt Mediation is a voluntary, private, out-of-court alternative โ€” we simply negotiate between you and your creditors. It often achieves similar relief faster, with no court orders and no long-term restrictions.
How much does it cost?
Your initial assessment is completely free with no obligation. Our fees only apply once we have successfully negotiated a plan you are happy with. We explain all costs in full before anything is signed โ€” no surprises.
Will it affect my credit score?
Debt mediation itself does not add a new negative flag to your credit profile. In fact, by reducing arrears and clearing judgments through our Judgment Removal and Score Booster Legal services, many clients see their scores improve significantly over time.
How quickly can the process start?
Your free assessment can happen within 24 hours of contacting us. Once you approve the mediation plan, we begin creditor negotiations immediately. Many clients receive their first confirmed reduced payment offer within 2โ€“4 weeks.
Do I need to go to court at any point?
No. That is the defining advantage of debt mediation. The entire process is conducted directly between our team and your creditors. You will never be required to appear in court, attend a hearing, or deal with any legal proceedings whatsoever.
