Debt Counsellors To Submit Reports

Each quarter of the year (every 3 months) Debt Counsellors are required to submit stats relating to the number of enquiries they have received and the clients they have taken on. This is part of their conditions of registration. The information is used by the National Credit Regulator (NCR) to keep track of what is happening in the debt review industry (and in their reporting).

These requirements for Debt Counsellors are set out in the National Credit Act Regulations, in Part B:

Part B − Debt counsellor compliance reports

(2) All registered debt counsellors must complete and submit the statistical return in Form
42 to the National Credit Regulator in respect of the quarters and by the due dates set
