Debt Restructuring FAQs

Common questions about debt consolidation and restructuring in Petaling Jaya

What is debt restructuring and how does it work?

Debt restructuring is a process where we help you consolidate multiple high-interest debts into a single loan with a lower interest rate and more manageable monthly payments. Here's how it works with YD PJ:

  1. Free Assessment: We analyze all your current debts, income, and expenses
  2. Negotiation: We may negotiate with your creditors for better terms or settlements
  3. Consolidation Loan: We provide a new loan to pay off your existing debts
  4. Single Payment: You make one monthly payment to us instead of multiple payments to different creditors
  5. Financial Guidance: We provide advice to prevent future debt problems

This process can reduce your monthly payments by 20-40% and help you become debt-free faster.

Who should consider debt restructuring?

Debt restructuring may be right for you if you're experiencing any of these situations:

Multiple High-Interest Debts

Struggling with multiple credit cards or personal loans with high interest rates

Missed Payments

Regularly missing payments or paying late fees

Collection Calls

Receiving harassing calls from collection agencies

High Debt-to-Income Ratio

Monthly debt payments exceeding 40% of your monthly income

Financial Stress

Constant worry about finances affecting your quality of life

Borrowing to Repay

Taking new loans to pay existing ones (debt cycle)

If you identify with 2 or more of these situations, contact us for a free debt assessment.

Will debt restructuring affect my credit score?

The impact on your credit score depends on your current situation and how we structure the solution:

Positive Effects

  • Timely Payments: One manageable payment improves payment consistency
  • Credit Utilization: Paying off credit cards reduces utilization ratio
  • Account Diversity: Replaces multiple accounts with one installment loan
  • Long-Term Improvement: Regular payments rebuild credit over time

Potential Short-Term Effects

  • Credit Inquiry: Application creates a hard inquiry (minor impact)
  • Account Age: Closing old accounts may slightly affect average account age
  • New Account: Adding a new loan initially may have small impact

For most people struggling with debt, the long-term benefits of restructuring far outweigh any short-term credit score impact. We work to minimize negative effects while helping you achieve financial stability.

YD PJ can help consolidate most types of unsecured debts in Petaling Jaya:
