What We Do | Sterling Debt Advisory

What We Do

At Sterling Debt Advisory, we can help by:

  • Outlining ALL available options (when threatened with Court Action to seize your property);
  • Recommend the right solution for you;
  • Explain what you do when Served with Court papers;
  • Work with your Lender to agree the right solution, for all parties;
  • Perhaps complete essential works to your property in preparation for sale;
  • Help you to optimise sale proceeds whilst minimising legal expenses;
  • Negotiate credit card debts;
  • Where required, refer you to specialists in property, family law, tax & accounting, insolvency (Trustee) and more; and
  • Remove the stress from your financial problems, allow you to regain control and move forward.

Importantly, it must be noted we are not lenders and do not provide finance, loans or advances in any form.  Nor are we experts in Part IX or Part X formal debt arrangement cases or Bankruptcy – referrals can be made should, this be deemed appropriate or necessary. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice.

Our clients generally fit the following circumstances:

  • have a combination of Arrears on their mortgage, in Default, Court Action commenced, have been or about to be Served a Writ & Statement of Claim, perhaps even allowed the process to move as far as having an Order or Judgement for Possession awarded, Notice of Eviction from the Sheriff, or even an eviction scheduled/imminent;
  • are solvent individuals with tangible net worth, who are temporarily experiencing financial stress.  We usually find that an event has triggered the ‘asset rich / cash poor’ syndrome (that is, under or un-employment, ill-health, an injury, separation, failed or deteriorating business, bad debts etc);
  • usually hold total debt levels from a minimum of $100,000 up to $5 million or more; and
  • generally own their home, may hold one or more investment properties, typically have superannuation and may potentially have a small business ownership.

Our firm’s capability, knowledge base and skill set is specifically focused on adding maximum value to these clients. Accordingly, we match each client’s profile specifically with the most appropriate and experienced consultant to best meet the needs and objectives.
