Some common perplexities regarding balances under debt review

Some common perplexities regarding balances under debt review

If you’re confused about why your balance isn’t decreasing or why your account statement differs from your Hyphen statement, you’re not alone. Fortunately, we have the answers. This is why we’re addressing these common questions and providing insights on what to do in such scenarios.

Your Balances Haven’t Budged Since Entering Debt Review

If you’ve noticed that your balances aren’t going down, let’s start by checking whether you’ve been consistently making your payments during your debt review. Missing payments can cause your accounts to fall into arrears, which might lead to creditors adding extra interest charges. However, even if you’ve been making regular payments, there could be other factors at play. For instance, your monthly installment might be set too low, or the interest on your account might not have been adjusted as per your debt review agreement or court order.

Your Account Statement and Hyphen Balance Don’t Match – What’s Going On?

Hyphen PDA provides an estimated balance per obligation on your Consumer Statement. It’s calculated by subtracting your monthly installment from your opening balance. But here’s the catch: this balance may only partially be accurate because the Credit Provider might have tacked on extra charges like late fees, missed payment penalties, and other additional costs. For more details on this, you can refer to the Hyphen website here.

What You Should Do in These Situations

When you’re facing these situations or just unsure about your balances, don’t hesitate to reach out to your dedicated debt counselor. Provide them with your contact details and any relevant SMS or letters from the creditor. They’ll dive into the matter and get back to you with answers to address your concerns.
