Getting Prescribed Debt Removed from your Credit Record

Understanding what prescribed debt is can give you an advantage when you’re dealing with your outstanding debts that are old and may no longer be relevant. The rule of prescribed debt is relatively straightforward. If you have debt that has not been acknowledged by the credit provider or paid by you in 3 years, it becomes prescribed debt.

There are some instances where the period of time for prescribed debt differs, however, 3 years is standard for general debts like loans, credit cards, and store accounts. Once defined as prescribed debt, it is cancelled and the creditor may not claim payments toward the debt, as long as you do not acknowledge it or make any payments towards it. Many South Africans aren’t aware of the concept of prescribed debt and their rights where this is concerned.
