Introduction

Pay Plan Solutions is on the lookout for a seasoned, all-round Debt Counselling Administrator — someone who has worked across multiple functions in the industry and built up a broad, practical skill set along the way. We are looking for the most capable candidate in their previous employment: someone who knows the process inside out, works quickly and independently, and gets things done without hand-holding.

If you have spent several years in a debt counselling or debt review environment and have touched most parts of the administration process — this role was written for you.

Duties & Responsibilities

The successful candidate will be expected to contribute across a broad range of administrative functions, which may include:

  • Processing debit order cancellations
  • Handling terminations, withdrawals, and internal reinstatements
  • DC transfer requests and the transfer of clients between debt counsellors
  • Reinstatements of accounts and reconciliation of end balances
  • End-balance disputes with credit providers
  • Issuing and managing clearance certificates (Form 17.W / Section 71)
  • COB (Certificate of Balance) follow-ups with credit providers
  • CP (Credit Provider) verification follow-ups
  • Reading and interpreting debt restructuring proposals and payment schedules
  • Checking and reconciling payments against proposals and acceptances
  • Processing Form 17.W's and related NCA documentation
  • Client communication — handling general queries, updating clients on case progress, and managing expectations
  • Liaising directly with credit providers to resolve outstanding matters

Desired Experience & Qualifications

  • Minimum 5 years' experience in the Debt Counselling / Debt Review industry (essential)
  • Demonstrable experience across multiple departments or functions within a debt counselling practice
  • Strong working knowledge of the debt review process end-to-end under the National Credit Act (NCA)
  • Familiarity with credit bureau processes, flag removals, and the CBA platform
  • Experience with DC transfers, reinstatements, terminations, and clearance certificate administration
  • Ability to read, interpret, and check proposals, payment schedules, and credit provider acceptances
  • Confident communicator — written and verbal — with both clients and credit providers
  • Outgoing and professional in client-facing and credit provider interactions
  • Ability to work independently, prioritise effectively, and manage a varied caseload without close supervision
  • System experience (Hyphen, Maximus, or similar) advantageous but not essential
