Evidence reviewed
Help a Mauritius household audit debt consolidation using attributable evidence and a stop condition.
Decision checklist
The consolidation balance room opposes a fully evidenced old-debt wall to a fully evidenced replacement wall and permits no claimed saving across an unfinished bridge; review marker 110 applies this device only to “audit debt consolidation Mauritius” and the evidence boundaries named on this page.
Register the old wall
Create one card per obligation with legal owner, account reference, current balance source, payment amount, due date, remaining term, rate basis and security. Distinguish an estimate from a settlement figure. Include arrears and fees only where documented. An omitted account makes the room unreliable. Do not infer what a provider will discover; this is the household's own complete register.
Request dated settlement figures
Ask each creditor through an authenticated channel for the amount and conditions required to close the account on a stated date. Record expiry and payment destination. Do not use the statement balance automatically if settlement treatment differs. A disputed amount receives a separate issue card and follows the competent process; it is not silently reduced in the comparison.
Construct the replacement wall
Use the proposed quotation to record nominal capital, initial deductions, net amount available for settlements, charges, insurance, payment schedule, rate mechanism and final date. Public examples cannot fill the wall. Check whether proceeds reach creditors directly or the household and how any shortfall is handled. A missing allocation blocks the bridge because an old debt may remain open.
Build the closure bridge
Map each replacement disbursement to one old settlement and require evidence of receipt and closure. Mark obligations deliberately left outside. Do not assume that sending money closes an account or stops future charges. The bridge opens only when beneficiary, amount, date and confirmation route align. A leftover balance returns to both the budget and total-cost comparison.
Compare total outflow, not instalment alone
Sum remaining old payments and their timing under the status quo, then sum the complete new normal stream plus settlement and setup costs without double counting. Record duration on both walls. A lower monthly figure may result from a much longer path. Keep conditional incident costs separate. Any claimed saving remains withheld until both walls share consistent dates and documented flows.
Test the household seasons
Place status-quo and replacement calendars beneath income and protected essentials. Inspect the tightest period, not only average monthly room. Add one relevant disruption. The new wall may improve early margin but extend vulnerability; the old wall may be tighter now but end sooner. The room describes this exchange without declaring consolidation generally helpful or harmful.
Audit new exposure
Record any new security, guarantor, salary condition, account dependency or variable-rate mechanism stated in the replacement. Compare which household assets and future choices become exposed. A cost saving would not automatically justify a materially different consequence. Unknown security or exit terms keep the decision open. Do not rely on future refinancing or early settlement unless the document supports the route. Add a household dependency graph linking each new condition to the person, account, asset or income stream it affects. Mark a shared dependency when several protections rely on the same resource. Then ask whether the old wall contained that dependency and whether the proposed saving compensates for the changed household function. This is a transparent trade-off record, not a legal interpretation. An unresolved edge stops the balance-room verdict until competent clarification arrives.
Issue the balance-room verdict
Classify the proposal as demonstrably improving the chosen household measures, not demonstrated, or harmful under the tested case. List missing closures and the fallback. This verdict is not lender approval and cannot influence it. If terms change after assessment, rebuild the replacement wall and bridge. Preserve complaint evidence separately from the arithmetic so a disputed old balance is not disguised as an assumed saving. Date the verdict and name every balance that still prevents a final comparison. Conduct a double-close audit before calling the bridge complete. For every old obligation, require one record showing the settlement amount was sent to the correct beneficiary and another showing how the creditor treated the account. Payment instruction alone is not closure. Note any residual interest, fee, standing instruction or security release question without assuming the answer. Place leftover amounts back on the old wall and rerun totals. Then calculate a break-even timeline using only documented normal flows: mark when cumulative outflow under the replacement becomes lower, equal or higher than continuing the old set, if that point can be established. Do not present this as a forecast when rates or charges can change. Add an exposure overlay for new security, account dependency or extended duration. A household may reject a mathematically lower stream because the bridge creates an unacceptable consequence. Finally, show the result under the ordinary calendar and one disruption. The room's signed minutes list closed accounts, unresolved bridge joints, total comparison, tightest month and fallback. A provider's decision to approve the replacement cannot close an old account, prove the saving or choose the trade-off for the household. Changed terms reopen the entire new wall.
