Centurion and Bellville firm whose main work is getting consumers out of debt review, alongside commercial and labour law.
VHT Attorneys was started in May 2017 as a small practice and, by its own count, now has more than 20 staff, eight of them lawyers. Cornel Van Heerden is the director. The Gauteng office is in Oxford Office Park, 3 Bauhinia Street, Centurion (the firm also lists a Monument Park, Pretoria address), and a Cape Town branch opened in Bellville in January 2023 under attorney Johardt van Heerden. Attorneys Matthew Upton and Casper Lourens and five candidate attorneys complete the legal team.
Most of the firm's work is credit law. For consumers, it applies to the Magistrate's Court for orders declaring them no longer over-indebted, so they can leave debt review. An attorney attends court in the client's place, and the firm follows the order through to the National Credit Regulator and the credit bureaux. It puts the usual timeline at three to six months, offers payment plans over six months and says it does not charge if an application fails. For debt counsellors it drafts debt review court applications and National Consumer Tribunal applications and refers restructuring proposals to correspondents across the country. It also handles commercial disputes, contracts and labour matters.
Offices are open Monday to Thursday 07:30 to 16:00 and Friday 07:30 to 15:00, and clients can start with a free assessment over WhatsApp.
Consumers stuck under debt review, debt counsellors across South Africa, and businesses with commercial or labour disputes.
