Top 10 Debt Counsellors Announced
Top 50 SA Debt Counsellors Names in Debt Review Awards
Each year the Debt Review Awards arrange an online industry Peer Review where Companies and Individuals registered with the National Credit Regulator (NCR) can help evaluate the performance of their counterparts in the industry.
Recently the results of the Peer Review in regard to Debt Counsellors have been published on the www.debtreviewawards.co.za website. The site lists 50 Debt Counsellors who are grouped into 5 different size categories from Boutique to National. The results then run the full gambit from Debt Counsellors who operate alone to those who are part of massive national brands.
Familiar & New Names
The names are listed alphabetically in each of the 5 categories and there are a few names that have been seen in past years. Once again, several past top-rated individuals and firms are on the list such as Debt Counsellor Alan Manshon of the Money Clinic, who many will recognise from his past radio appearances, former Debt Counsellors Association of South Africa CEO Wikus Olivier and well known national firms like Octogen, NDA, Pioneer, Debt Busters and Debt Rescue.
There are also new names on the list of Top 10 DCs which will not surprise their clients or credit provider counterparts. These Debt Counsellors have been working hard for a long time and most on the list have been registered with the NCR for many years building up their operation and reputation.
Congratulations to all the Top 50 on being recognised by the industry for their hard work and efforts to improve debt review. Next week all these top rated firms will be receiving special digital media which they can use to let consumers know that they are part of the Top 10 practices in their size category.

This weekend sees the names of the Top 5 and highest rated being revealed at the Annual Debt Review Awards Gala being held in Durban, KZN. People from across the province and the country will attend to hear the results.
