Debtfree DIGI April -Editor’s Note
Editor’s Note
As summer begins to fade, the colder weather of autumn starts to make occasional appearances leaving us with glimpses of what is to come. It is almost time to dig in the back of the cupboard for those jerseys and scarves. With rolling power outages and increasing fuels prices ahead it looks to be a tough few months ahead. As my friend Ned says:” Winter is coming”. It has been weeks since the National Credit Amendment Act came into effect and the world has not stopped turning. It seems that the industry is adjusting to the new legislation and regulations. We consider some more of the ramifications for consumers in this months magazine and see how this is changing the way credit providers go about granting credit and who gets to look at your credit bureau report.
It is always an exciting time for us at Debtfree when the Debt Review Awards begins to come together. This month the Debtfree team (as organisers) have been helping to gather info for the Panels to look at (no, we don’t actually sit on any of the panels), getting people to sign all sorts of documents, sitting with the auditors, booking venues and arranging speakers and a million other things. We have had overwhelming support again from both the industry and from contributors, sponsors and individuals offering time and energy to assist us. We really want to thank everyone for helping again this year. That includes the Debtfree Team. Thanks guys. You can read all the latest about the Annual Debt Review Awards in this month’s issue.
We feature a lot of industry news and also get to interview a Debt Counsellor about what it takes to run a Debt Counselling business that is growing daily. We have information for Debt Counsellors from the various associations.
While under debt review you may occasionally have glimpses of your debt free future. Rather than a dark and cold place it is a warm and wonderful future that you should have clearly in mind in order to stay motivated. Remember to pay each month and keep a finger on the pulse. Soon you will be debt free.
