Debt Management Firms and Your Legal Rights

Law Tram’s Debt and Bankruptcy Consultation simplifies the process by connecting you with licensed Australian lawyers who can offer tailored legal advice specific to your situation. This free, fully online, and obligation-free service ensures you receive expert guidance every step of the way.

Have You Been Contacted by a Debt Management Firm?

Many Australians turn to debt management companies when they feel overwhelmed by money problems, but not all providers act in your best interests. Some charge high upfront fees or promote solutions that may not be right for your situation, such as pushing people into bankruptcy or unsuitable debt agreements.

You have legal rights when dealing with debt advisors. Most debt services are now regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), and must meet standards of fairness, transparency and suitability. If you have concerns about the advice you’ve received, or want a second opinion, help is available.

Law Tram connects you with independent lawyers who can explain your rights and help you assess your real options without pressure or sales tactics.

What Others Are Saying

I was being charged hundreds in fees by a debt company that did nothing. The lawyer helped me cancel the agreement and deal with the creditors myself.

They told me to sign a debt agreement but didn’t explain the impact on my credit file. Law Tram helped me understand my real options.

The advice I got was wrong and rushed. The lawyer gave me clear, independent help with no pressure.
