Responsibility is a specialized online platform dedicated to empowering maintenance creditors in the private recovery of arrear maintenance.

We facilitate seamless access to the comprehensive suite of civil enforcement mechanisms provided under Chapter 5 of the Maintenance Act (99 of 1998). Our platform streamlines the utilization of critical legal tools, including:

  • Warrants of Attachment of Property: To secure payment through the seizure of assets.
  • Attachment of Emoluments: To facilitate direct deductions from a debtor’s salary.
  • Attachment of Debts: To intercept funds owed to the debtor by third parties.

Because the Maintenance Act governs every maintenance order issued within the Republic of South Africa, our services are available nationwide. We provide a solution without geographic or jurisdictional limitations, ensuring you have the support you need, regardless of where you or the debtor are located.

Why Choose Our Platform?

Efficiency & Privacy

We prioritize a discreet, professional approach to recovery, ensuring that maintenance creditors can enforce their rights effectively through established legal frameworks.
