In The Wings - New Ways To Chase Maintenance Defaulter
Maintenance defaulters won’t be pleased with new amendments to our Maintenance Act, signed into law on 9 September and aimed at making it easier to enforce payment of arrears.
In particular the provision for defaulters to be registered with credit bureaus, a move aimed at preventing defaulters from getting more credit until they settle all arrears, has been widely welcomed. Note however that, despite media reports to the contrary, it will only come into force on a future date still to be gazetted.
