Medical Issues

The RC Family had accumulated $100,000 worth of unsecured debt and had fallen behind in their mortgage repayments. An eviction notice was issued. This was the result of ongoing medical costs along with modifications made to the home to cater for one of their 3 children who was mentally and physically challenged.

The RC family aligned themselves with specialist Mortgage Mangers, Fundsnational Pty Ltd who achieved an Unconditional Approval with a Specialist Lender. This enabled the family to keep their home, a high priority as the modifications to the home were important for the child’s safety. As part of the refinance, Choice Debt Solutions negotiated their debt from $100,000 down to $40,000. That’s a 60% saving!! The RC family now has a new mortgage which is maintainable due to their credit cards and personal loans being settled for less.

Mr N is a jeweller whose business was suffering due to cash flow issues. Part of that problem was $45,000 in credit cards. Mr N refinanced this home and used the equity to payout his credit cards. Unfortunately, he was a little short so CDS negotiated a reduction in payouts for the credit cards saving the client $17,500.

This reduction kept his Loan to Value Ratio under 80%, allowing a cheaper, more affordable rate on his new home loan. Mr N is now able to focus on making beautiful jewellery without creditors constantly hounding him for payments.

Change in income

Choice Debt Solutions was introduced to a client who was being issued with a Bankruptcy Notice. He had a total of $30,000 in unsecured debts plus Council Arrears. This was all the result of a period of unemployment. Now in full time employment, he was finding it difficult to get on top of his debt so he did what most of our clients do, and refinanced his house to use the equity.

As usual, there were not enough funds to payout his debts in full, so CDS was employed to negotiate these down by the required $8,000. Mr M now has all debts paid out and his home is secure with his new lender.

CDS successfully negotiated $80,000 of debt down to $33,000 saving the client $47,000! That’s a 60% saving!

Mr & Mrs F came to CDS with the Sheriff at their door ready to change the locks on their family home. This was the result of several work injuries sustained by Mr F impacting on his ability to earn an income for over 12 months.

With their mortgage in severe arrears and combined credit cards totalling $80,000 there were very few options. Thankfully their broker was savvy enough to consider a specialist lender. A combination of hard work from their broker, consideration from a specialist lender and negotiations from CDS resulted in the clients keeping their home. Happy Family!
