Under Bank of Tanzania asset-classification rules, a debt that stays unpaid for a year is classified as a loss and written off. The borrower is blacklisted at the credit bureau. The bank books the loss. Nobody wins, until now.

For the borrower

A blacklisted name blocks business capital, mortgages, even some jobs. The debt keeps growing, so it never feels payable.

For the bank

Written-off debts sit dead on the books, while call-centre collections cost more than they recover and damage the brand.

Teachers, civil servants and salaried workers often lose payroll check-off after a transfer. Penalties keep running even when the will to pay is there.

Four traps keep good people out of the financial system. We built a way out of each.

The credit-bureau blacklist

One default flags your name at the credit reference bureau and locks you out of credit, mortgages and some jobs.

Settle at a discount of up to 70%. When you finish, you receive a clearance letter and your lender updates your bureau record.

The “ghost SIM” deadlock

Fearing wallet deductions and endless calls, many borrowers abandon their old number, and with it, any way back.

Tell us your current number. We match your record with your lender and reach you quietly, on your terms.

Fear, harassment and shame

Threatening calls to you, your family or your boss make people go silent instead of solving the problem.

No collectors at your door, no calls to relatives. A private offer on your own screen that you accept when you are ready.

Microfinance & digital loans that multiply

App loans and short-term microfinance facilities stack daily late fees until the balance feels impossible to clear.

One fixed settlement amount with micro-instalments sized to your real income: weekly, monthly or one discounted payment.

The Dignity Standard

Why UzaDebt dignity resolution outperforms aggressive debt collection.

Aggressive collectors use shame, family harassment, and hidden compounding fees that drive borrowers into hiding. UzaDebt provides a structured, legally binding path back to financial freedom.

Traditional Debt Collection (The Trap)

Fear, Public Shame & Ballooning Fees

What happens when written-off accounts are chased with unregulated harassment.

Third-Party Harassment & Public Exposure

Collectors call your workplace, relatives, and parents, causing humiliation and job loss.

Compounding Penalties & Hidden Charges

Interest accumulates indefinitely. A small mobile loan balloons into millions with zero transparency.

Informal Mobile Money Demands (No Audit Trail)

Collectors instruct you to send money to personal SIM lines. Payments often vanish without updating bank records.

Permanent Credit Blacklist with No Way Out

Even after paying, the collector disappears without notifying the Credit Reference Bureau. You stay blacklisted.

Questions people ask us

Is UzaDebt a lender? Will I get new credit?

No. UzaDebt does not lend money. We work with banks and BOT-licensed microfinance institutions to restructure debts they have already written off, so you can settle them at a discount and rebuild your credit.

How is my discount decided?

It depends on how old the debt is, how much has accumulated in penalties, your lender’s policy and how you choose to pay. Discounts typically range from 30% to 70%. You see the exact amount before you agree.

I changed my phone number. Can I still join?

Yes. That is very common. Give us your current number and, if you remember it, the number you used for the debt. We use it only to find your record.

Will anyone call my family or employer?

Never. We only contact you, on the channel you choose (WhatsApp, SMS, call or email). Our approach is dignity-first and private.

How do I pay, and how do I know it reached the right place?

You pay with an UzaDebt Control Number issued only to you. Payments are matched automatically and you get an instant confirmation for each instalment.

Is my information safe?

Your details are used only to find and resolve your debt and are handled in line with Tanzania’s Personal Data Protection Act. We never sell your data.

One honest number. One plan. A clean name.
