The National Credit Regulator invites debt counsellors to submit written input regarding trends, practices, and challenges encountered when referring debt counselling matters to court. Submissions must be specific, identifying the relevant court and aligning challenges to that jurisdiction, with personal attendance discouraged in favor of direct engagement with attorneys. Registrants are required to send these submissions to dcinfo@ncr.org.za by 28 June 2019.
Circular 05 of 2019 The National Credit Regulator (“the NCR”) is intending to engage the judiciary nationwide on the latest developments in the debt counselling industry and to establish the judiciary’s view on debt counselling practices at the courts. To make these engagements meaningful, the NCR wishes to get input from the industry as to the latest trends, practices and challenges currently experienced when referring debt counselling matters to court. If the debt counsellor does not appear in court personally, it is requested that he/she engage directly with his/her attorney to obtain such input. To enable the NCR to categorise the challenges accordingly, it is recommended that the submissions be specific (i.e. identify the court and align the relevant challenges experienced to the identified court). All registrants are kindly invited to send written submissions to dcinfo@ncr.org.za by 28 June 2019. FURTHER INFORMATION Please contact Timmy Van Der Grijp on 011 554 2802, tvandergrijp@ncr.org.za should you have any queries.
