Will this stop legal action against me?

What if I can’t make the payments on my Debt Agreement?

If the terms of the agreement are not met and your agreement terminates, creditors can recommence recovery action.

I run a business, what do I need to know?

If trading under a business name or assumed name (whether alone or in partnership) the Debt Agreement must be disclosed to all people dealing with the business. If operating a sole trader business while in a Debt Agreement, you should include your full name in the business name; e.g. John Smith trading as Smith’s Shop.
