Debt Review Removal — Polokwane | Limpopo
Polokwane is Limpopo's capital and its commercial centre, home to the provincial government, regional head offices and the University of Limpopo nearby at Mankweng. We take Polokwane, Seshego and Capricorn residents off debt review entirely by WhatsApp and phone.
See If You Qualify in PolokwaneDebt review removal is not an administrative update. A credit bureau may only remove the flag on a Section 71 clearance certificate or a court order. Anyone offering to "remove the flag overnight" without one of those is operating outside the National Credit Act.
| Clearance Certificate (S.71) | Court-Led Removal (S.87 / 165) | |
|---|---|---|
| When it applies | Every short-term account is paid up (a bond may remain) | Accounts still open, but you are no longer over-indebted |
| Court involved | No | Yes — Polokwane Magistrate's Court |
| Attorney | Not needed | Debt365's panel attorney appears for you |
| Cost | From R2,900 | From R6,500 |
| Typical timeline | 14 to 21 working days | 2 to 3 months |
Provincial-government salaries and the Polokwane court
Polokwane has a large public-service workforce on fixed salaries. If yours now covers your original instalments, that is strong evidence for a magistrate that you are no longer over-indebted.
Our panel attorney applies to the Polokwane Magistrate's Court for most local addresses. From R6,500, typically 2 to 3 months. You do not need to attend.
Vehicle finance and the road to Gauteng
Polokwane is a driving city: many households rely on a car for work and for the N1 trip to Gauteng, and vehicle finance is often the biggest account on a debt review plan. Once the car and other short-term accounts are paid, a Section 71 clearance certificate removes the flag.
From R2,900, typically 14 to 21 working days.
Seshego, Mankweng and the rest of Capricorn
Outside Polokwane itself, Seshego, Mankweng, Lebowakgomo and the rural parts of Capricorn may fall under different courts. That only matters for the court route, and we confirm the right court before filing.

Is this a scam? How to tell a lawful removal
- Only a Section 71 clearance certificate from a registered debt counsellor, or a court order, can remove a debt review flag. A promise of removal in days without either is not lawful.
- You should get the exact fee in writing after your assessment and approve it before any work starts.
- The National Credit Regulator does not process removals over WhatsApp. We use WhatsApp to collect documents and answer questions; the removal itself is a certificate sent to the bureaus or a court order.
- Check any provider's registration before paying. Ours is NCRDC2403 — search it on www.ncr.org.za.
