AKPK Status: How Refinancing Can Help You Improve Cash Flow After AKPK

What can you do if you are neck-deep in debts without any solution in sight? Usually, adequate knowledge and good financial habits can really help to turn things around. That’s why many turn to AKPK’s debt counselling services. But enrolling in AKPK has a downside —the AKPK status.

If you’re hesitant to enrol because you’re worried about getting enough cash to clear your debts and remove your AKPK status, we’re here to help! Read on to know more about AKPK and how refinancing can remove your AKPK status so you can get your life back on track.

What is AKPK?

The Credit Counselling and Debt Management Agency, also known as Agensi Kaunselling dan Pengurusan Kredit (AKPK), is a non-profit agency established by Bank Negara Malaysia. AKPK helps individuals regain control of their finances and get out of debt.

How Does AKPK Help You?

Here are the primary services provided by AKPK:

Most importantly, all their services offered are free of charge to individuals.

The Disadvantages of Enrolling in AKPK

Under the Debt Management Programme, AKPK’s financial advisors will develop a personalised debt repayment plan depending on your income, daily expenses and debt. However, here are some things that you should know when you enrol in the Debt Management Programme.

  • Restricted lines of credit

You will no longer have access to your line of credit. In other words, your credit cards will be cancelled, and you cannot make bank overdrafts. However, obtaining new credit lines while enrolled in the programme is subject to the financial institution’s discretion.

  • CCRIS Report Status

Your status of having joined AKPK’s Debt Management Programme will be shown on your CCRIS report. This may lead to difficulties in applying for loans even after you exit the programme.

  • Impact on Credit Score

Typically, enrolling in AKPK’s Debt Management Programme will lower your credit score. In your credit report, it will be shown that you will be paying less than the original monthly repayment amount. Thus, you may appear as a high-risk borrower to lenders.

How to Improve Cash Flow with Refinancing

Homeowners with high equity in their homes can refinance their mortgages to cover the cost of their debts or other financial needs.

Here is a case study to further illustrate how refinancing can help individuals under AKPK’s Debt Management Programme.
