Cheongju District Court and Shinbokwi Sign Business Agreement to Strengthen Financial Capabilities for Personal Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy Cases

[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-seop] Cheongju District Court and the Credit Recovery Committee announced on the 26th that they have signed a business agreement to provide credit and financial education for individuals undergoing personal rehabilitation and bankruptcy, as well as support for mortgage loan debt adjustment for personal rehabilitation applicants.

The agreement was established to prevent the recurrence of debt problems after personal rehabilitation or bankruptcy and to strengthen financial capabilities through credit and financial education. It also aims to support housing stability for personal rehabilitation applicants who own owner-occupied livelihood housing, thereby aiding their economic recovery.

The "Credit and Financial Education" program is conducted to support a healthy financial consumer rebound after personal rehabilitation or bankruptcy declaration, covering topics such as income and expenditure management, credit and debt management, prevention of financial fraud, and welfare systems for low-income earners.

The education is provided online, accessible 24 hours a day to ensure that users are not burdened in their daily work. The Credit Recovery Committee expects about 3,800 residents of Chungbuk Province to receive the education annually.

The "Mortgage Loan Debt Adjustment" targets personal rehabilitation applicants who have overdue periods exceeding 30 days and own housing valued at 600 million KRW or less. It offers reduced interest rates on mortgage loans and extends the repayment period up to 35 years. This is the fourth such program following the Seoul Rehabilitation Court, Suwon District Court, and Chuncheon District Court.

The court refers debtors who require mortgage loan debt adjustment to the Credit Recovery Committee, which then notifies the court of the results of the debt adjustment negotiations to be reflected in the repayment plan, thereby supporting debt repayment.
