Review for Debt Rescue – Consultant: Owen Naidoo

I recently had my annual debt-review check-in with Owen. He asked for my latest payslips and updated financial details, which I sent through. Nothing much has changed on my side except that things have become noticeably tighter. Medical aid now comes off my salary; my take-home is smaller than in previous years, and since my father passed away in April 2024, I’m the only one earning at home while my mother relies on her SASSA pension.

Owen handled everything professionally and stayed on the ball, which I appreciate. He kept the process smooth and didn’t leave me guessing. That said, I was secretly hoping for a little relief this year—maybe the monthly installment dipping just enough to breathe a bit. A hopeful hint, not a demand.

Overall, Owen did his part well, and the service from his side was solid. I just wish the system behind him had a bit more space for clients who are clearly stretched.
