NCR / National Credit Act

How collection conduct stays inside the National Credit Act.

The National Credit Act (Act 34 of 2005) and the National Credit Regulator set conduct standards for credit agreements — debt review status, reckless-lending flags, and prescribed Section 129/130 notice procedures. Here's how the platform keeps that visible before a collector acts.

NCA / NCR

Collection activity is checked against a debtor's credit-agreement status before a collector can act on the account.

Debt review status flagged on the accountYes
Prescribed-debt status checked before contactYes
Section 129 / 130 notice procedure trackedPer case
NCR registration reference on file per client entityWhere applicable

A debtor under debt review, or an account past prescription, is visible on the case before a collector picks up the phone — not discovered afterward. This page is a plain-language summary — it isn't legal advice, and your own compliance team should confirm NCR registration and conduct requirements for each engagement.

Credit-law safeguards

Workflows built around the National Credit Act.

Debt review

Debt review and protection orders

Accounts under debt review or protection are flagged so collection actions stop until the status is cleared.

Prescription

Prescription monitoring

Accounts approaching or past the prescription period are surfaced before they reach a collector.

Notices

Notice tracking

Required letters of demand and statutory notices are issued from templates, with delivery proof stored on the case.

Contact rules

Contact-time rules

Channel and time-of-day limits are enforced in the strategy engine, not left to collector judgement.

Disputes

Dispute handling

A disputed balance pauses collection and routes to a reviewer with the full account history.

Records

Complete audit record

Every contact, promise and status change is logged for regulator or ombud enquiries.
