Debt Purchase Solutions

With our debt purchasing solution, we buy your debt upfront. We’ll offer you a fixed settlement price you agree on, in exchange for acquiring your Scheme’s historic levy debt, as well as your legally raised charges and utilities such as water and electricity.

Because there is no repayment, interest, or fees payable by the Scheme, we take on all the risk while your community scheme gets access to immediate funding. In doing so, you avoid a debt trap.

The Process

How does debt purchase work?

We evaluate the risk of every debtor individually according to our proprietary actuarial model.

DEBT PURCHASE PROCESS

Once the investigative offer is accepted, we follow a Due Diligence process whereby we ask for the relevant compliance documents.

4

Final offer is provided based on findings in the Due Diligence process.

5

AGM/SGM notice is given with Stratafin's final offer to purchase on the agenda.

Owners in arrears are pursued for their outstanding contributions, and repayment can be structured over a period of up to three years. If no such arrangement can be made, Stratafin will follow the legal process.
