The Debtfix blog
There is a lot of job satisfaction when you see exactly how much money is paid off people’s debt each month. Our youngest crew member, Gianni Thapliyal is responsible for making monthly payments on behalf of Debtfix clients to the organisations they owe money to.
He gets a genuine sense of achievement – helping reduce problem debt for everyday New Zealanders and thrives with the responsibility of keeping the creditors happy.
Joining the Debtfix crew a week before Aotearoa went into lockdown for Covid-19 has not prevented Freda Boyd from throwing a lifebuoy to people who need a hand with sorting out their debt.
She is naturally inclined to help others and has always guided people who need someone else to advocate for them.
Experience with supporting whānau helps debt navigator, Alisja Skelling relate to the people she works with at Debtfix in many ways.
Before becoming a debt navigator, Alisja tutored parents with the Home Interaction Programme for Parents and Youngsters (HIPPY), a home-based early education programme for Kiwi families.
She knew a thing or two about money as well, having worked in a payroll job and managing figures before she had children.
If you have concerns about money you owe or money others owe your business – you need to be at this breakfast.
It's time to talk about debt openly and find solutions.
When New Zealand went into lockdown, people had to move fast. While sorting out their own home offices, Debtfix Navigators were quickly on-hand to help the Kiwi community through the stress of sorting their debt problems. Covid-19 has meant reduced incomes and even job losses, and Debtfix still finds positive solutions to financial problems.
