Pioneer Debt Solutions Debt Review 

Pioneer Debt Solutions’ debt review services are there to help individuals achieve financial freedom through debt repayment planning and facilitation of processes. The debt review process helps customers by finding the best suitable solution(s) for their debt needs. 

Debt Review Process 

Pioneer Debt Solutions’ debt review process takes place in four simple steps. After going through all the steps, customers usually become debt-free and end up with a better credit score than they had when they started the debt review process. 

Step 1

The first step is to complete the application. This application is to assess whether or not the debt counselling process is for you. By submitting an application, a debt consultant will review your information and come up with solutions to your problems. This solution, however, is for people who are over-indebted and unable to meet their credit obligations. This step is free and has no cost associated with it.

Step 2

The second step is to get your monthly payments reduced. Pioneer Debt Solutions negotiates with creditors for affordable interest rates. By taking the debt counselling solution, it means you will cease to be in contact with your creditors, Pioneer will be responsible for all communication with the creditors on your behalf. Interest rates on late payments are also negotiated so that you can save money. 

Step 3

The third step involves legal advice and legal representation. This step is only for those that have accepted to make use of the Pioneer Debt Solutions Debt consolidation services after making an application. Pioneer’s legal experts will represent you in court and make your restructured payment plan a court order. 

Step 4

Last but not least, you have to start paying your reduced instalment every month. Payments will have to be made on time so a debit order is ideal to make timely payments. Should you fail to make payments as agreed, Pioneer will stop offering debt counselling services to you. When you successfully pay off your debt, a clearance certificate will be issued to you and to the credit bureaus to show that you have completed payments that were due.
