New Zealand Debt

Private debt has increased considerably over the last two decades in New Zealand and the following statistics reflect this trend: 

  • Between 1991 and 2001 private debt per capita rose by 124 percent.
  • During this time the amount of debt rose from $12,000 to $27,400.
As these figures indicate, many New Zealanders have a spiralling debt problem and require professional help to ease their financial burdens.

 

There are a wide range of companies who provide debt related services in New Zealand including debt consolidation and debt counselling. Visit their Web sites and find out more about your options for debt repayments, debt consolidation, reducing debts, debt elimination and debt management.

 

If you find yourself the flip side and have unpaid debts owing to you, you may need the assistance of a debt collection agency or companies specialising in debt recovery. Visit their Web sites to find out more. Links to sites discussing issues about debt and the current situation in New Zealand can also be found in this section.
