How Noni reduced her debt payments by R3,700 per month

Summit negotiated reduced payments with her credit providers

You can’t breathe. You can feel like – why can’t I just end it all?

Noni was using debt to maintain a lifestyle she could no longer afford, and soon found herself overwhelmed by debt and thinking of ending it all. Summit helped her reduce her debt payments through debt counselling so she could put her focus back on her family and her work.

After the birth of her fourth child, Noni started using debt to maintain her previous lifestyle. This quickly led to over-indebtedness and her frustrated husband demanding she sort out her finances before they impacted the rest of the family.

Noni came to dread month-end, which meant watching colleagues enjoy the nice lunches, new clothes and easy spending that she knew she couldn’t afford. She had no idea where to turn and considered taking her own life as a way out.

Fortunately, Noni’s employer referred her to Summit. We introduced her to debt counselling, which helped her feel in control and earn back her husband’s respect. Now she’s teaching her kids not to make the same mistakes.
