Your Debt Counsellors
Derryn Fish
Debt counsellor & Lawyer
“I am the quiet partner, dealing with negotiating, motivating and finalising the new debt repayment arrangement. I use my knowledge from working in banking in conjunction with my economics, applied economics and LLB Law degrees along with a wealth of debt counselling experience to deliver the best for my clients.
The joy in my job that keeps me motivated is being able to help people out of the morass in their lives caused by financial stress and seeing them pull through on the other side. It’s in experiencing the resilience of South Africans to hard times and sharing their happiness when their debt is settled. My client’s success is my success.”
Amanda Johnson
Debt Counsellor
“As a debt counsellor and a people’s person, I am the one who loves engaging with the clients in order to understand what they are about. It is important for me that the clients do understand how the debt counselling process works, what they are getting themselves into and why. Clients may ask as many questions as needed so that they are at ease with and understand, not only their financial position, but what is required from them in order to get to the place of financial freedom.
Our clients know that we take pride in the fact that they are not just a number – that we engage face-to-face with them so that relationships are built. I celebrate with clients when clearance is issued and they become debt free. Debt counselling is my job but people are my passion.”
