Understanding
instalments


Instalments refer to a set amount you pay for an item over an agreed period. Often, we are attracted by special offers and low monthly instalments that look like very good deals. But 'low' instalments can be deceiving.

It is important to look at the total cost you will pay by adding up the monthly instalments over the payment period. You may find you will pay way more than the cash price. Always check before agreeing to the instalments and where possible, save up and buy the item in cash.

Remember: Check if you are being charged for extras such as delivery, credit life insurance, etc. You have a choice not to take up insurance if you do not want it.


Understanding
wants & needs


Bad credit

  • Borrowing for wants - e.g. new outfit for an event when you have clothes you can wear.
  • Borrowing for consumables - e.g. borrowing to buy groceries, airtime, etc. If you constantly need to borrow money before month end, you may need to adjust your budget and cut out some expenses.

Good credit

  • Borrowing to buy assets that grow in value over time, e.g. a house.
  • Borrowing for personal growth for you or a family member, e.g. student loan.

Credit


Why it's important to understand how credit works

It's always better to save up for something and pay cash, but we know that's not always possible.

Understanding interest


There are two types of interest: interest earned (on savings and investments) and interest charged (on loans).

Understanding instalments


Instalments refer to a set amount you pay for an item over an agreed period. Often, we are attracted by special offers and low monthly instalments that look like very good deals. But 'low' instalments can be deceiving.

Where to borrow money


If you are planning to borrow money, there are lots of different places that you can borrow from including: banks, micro-lenders, shops and informal (unregistered lenders) such as loan sharks.

All these places offer different products and their terms and application requirements differ. The risk associated with each lender also differs, so think carefully before signing an agreement or contract.


Where to borrow money


Before you take up credit


Taking up credit is a big decision. Before you do, consider the following:

Understanding wants & needs

Bad credit

  • Borrowing for wants - e.g. new outfit for an event when you have clothes you can wear.

    Credit report

    Credit bureaux keep credit related information of all credit-active consumers, this information is compiled on a credit report or credit profile. Credit grantors submit payment information to the credit bureaux on how well you are repaying your loans. The information submitted is both positive and negative information. The purpose of a credit report is to allow credit grantors to determine if you are eligible for credit, by assessing the amount of credit you already have and also looking at how well you repay existing loans. It is a risk for companies to give you a loan, therefore they must ensure that you can repay it.

    You can get a free copy of your credit report once a year directly from the credit bureaux:

    Action creditors can take if you do not make payments


    Types of expenses



    Over-indebtedness

    You are over-indebted if you are failing to meet your debt repayments and constantly need to borrow to support your monthly expenses.

    What can I do if I am over-indebted?

    a) The first step is to write a list of all the people and businesses that you owe money to.

    b) Contact your creditors and explain your situation.

    c) When creditors write to you, take their letters seriously and respond.

    d) Do not promise to make payments if you cannot afford them. Rather explain the situation and look at making smaller payments over a longer period.

    e) Avoid taking more loans to pay the debt you already have

    f) Change your lifestyle, cut down on things like entertainment, alcohol, cigarettes, gambling, etc.

    g) If you drive an expensive car, consider downgrading to a more affordable car or sell your car and use public transport.

    h) Avoid buying groceries on credit.

    i) Consult a debt counsellor. Call the National Credit Regulator (0860 627 627) and they will refer you to a debt counsellor near you.


    Debt counselling

    There is no shame is asking for help to manage your debt. It is better to get help than to drown in debt.

    Advantages

  • When you are under debt counselling, creditors may not take more action against you.
  • There is no permanent record of having undergone debt counselling.
  • There is only one monthly repayment to be made.
  • Your budget will meet your basic needs (housing, transport, food) first before making provision for your debts.
  • You will never pay more money than you can reasonably afford.
  • A debt counsellor will suggest ways of cutting costs and saving money.
  • You will no longer get calls from your creditors demanding payment. This will lessen your stress and allow you to focus on fixing the problem of getting out of debt.
  • Disadvantages

  • You are not allowed to have more credit while undergoing debt counselling.
  • It does cost a little bit of money, payable to the debt counsellor. These fees are regulated and set by law.
  • Your debts will take longer to pay off because of paying smaller amounts each month.
