Frequently Asked Questions

A couple of things people ask.

Can I obtain finance while I’m with Beyond Debt?

Obtaining further finance will undermine yours and our goal of you becoming debt free. There are lenders who will lend to you while you’re with Beyond Debt. We discourage you strongly from using them due to their high interest rates. It is possible to live debt free.

What if I can’t make my payment on the due date?

If you won’t be able to make the payment call Client Support and they can suspend your payment and make arrangements to make it up. It’s important you call 24hrs beforehand to avoid dishonour fees.

How do I make payments?

Beyond Debt only allows payment by direct debit.

Fees/Charges/Costs

Fees change depending on the product and the level of debt. We guarantee you will pay less, including all fees and charges with Beyond Debt than you will under your current situation. It’s free to have a chat with our Debt Consultants and they will calculate what your total payments will be including all fees and charges.

How can I contact you?

Beyond Debt is available via Phone, Web Chat, or Online Application form.

Can you still help me if I have bad credit?

Can I get a home loan?

Acquiring a home loan takes a couple of things; clean credit, a deposit (5% of purchase price minimum), stamp duty, conveyancing, loan application fees. To buy a home worth $500,000 in NSW you would need a minimum of $46,000 in savings. To pay off your debt and accumulate this amount of savings will take time. Beyond Debt can ensure you repay your debt in the shortest time possible and accumulate savings as quickly as possible. In short we can get you into a home faster.

Is my home at risk?

As long as you continue to make payments on your mortgage it is not affected. We will take your mortgage/rates/insurance payments into account in determining what you can afford to repay your other creditors and this will make it easier to afford your mortgage.

Can I pay it off sooner?

Of course you can and many do now they are better managing their money. All our products however are interest free so frequently it is not advisable to pay them out sooner. According to your situation, accumulating savings for a house or making extra super payments may be the better option call us to discuss it.

Can I enquire on behalf of someone else?

We can give you information and suggest a solution but you can’t apply on behalf of someone else unless you have power of attorney. In situation where one spouse is more easily contactable (e.g. the other is miner or truck driver) we can have that spouse authorised as a second party contact however we need to talk to the original applicant.

Does my spouse need to know?

Beyond Debt has a strict privacy policy. We won’t tell your spouse, unless you want us to. We do however encourage you to tell your spouse. Spouses are an enormous support during difficult times and in our experience now you are taking control of your finances they will be eager to support you.

Can I choose which debts you help with?

For us to assist you we have to deal with ALL your unsecured debts. We can’t leave you with a credit card but with your debts under control you will be able to accumulate savings. For many of our clients this is the first time in their lives they’ve lived debt free.
