Debt Agreement
A Part IX Debt Agreement is a legally binding agreement between you and your creditors. This means creditors will no longer charge you interest on your debts. You will just pay all your unsecured debts back in one easy regular weekly or fortnightly instalment.
It represents an alternative to bankruptcy, and is suited to individuals on an income lower than $1,669.23 (after tax) per week.
