Promoting Debt Awareness

Most of us try avoid thinking about debt. After all, debt is stressful and scary.

As a result, we can lose track of our debt situation. And without knowing exactly how much we owe everyone it can be hard to put a realistic debt repayment plan in place.

This is one reason why National Debt Awareness Month is such a great idea. First introduced by Debt Counsellors, the idea is for South Africans to take a realistic look at their debt and then hopefully do something about it.

This month Debt Counsellors across the country promoted National Debt Awareness Month on website, social media and the press. There have been TV news stories, adverts, posts, reels, podcasts, press briefings and more. All aimed at getting people talking about their debt.

If you need help figuring out how much debt you have or what to do with your debt please talk to an NCR registered Debt Counsellor for free advice.
