Dave, currently, the National Credit Act provides for a R50 application fee for debt counselling, but the department of trade and industry is considering changes to debt counselling fees. (http://www.persfin.co.za/index.php?f...icleId=3851232).

In an article of Bussiness report (http://www.busrep.co.za/index.php?fArticleId=3820099) Mpho Thekiso, manager for the NCR's debt relief programme, said debt counselling fees would range from R500 to R1200, depending on the time it would take to review a consumer's debt.
