Debt Consolidation

What is Debt Consolidation?

Consolidation of all debts into one loan of which is paid back monthly. By consolidating your credit card, loan and other debts you could end up with just one manageable amount to pay each month. The loan spreads out the payment of debts over a longer period, than say the Individual Voluntary Arrangement process. sometimes of up to 20 years.

A debt consolidation loan secured against your home needs careful consideration and there are further choices such as whether to re-mortgage your home, effectively paying off your debt over the life of your mortgage, or whether to take out a debt consolidation homeowner loan (also known as a secured loan).

Our experienced advisors will be able to guide you through the debt consolidation decision making process, offering you the best advice on which debt consolidation solution is right for you and then shopping around to get you the best deal.

Briefly this is the consolidation of all your debts into one loan which is then paid monthly, often over a long period of up to 20 years. Unfortunately with this option you may be accruing interest on your loan so, although you will have spare income, over the years you may be paying back much more then your original debt.

However, with this option loans attract compound interest so long-term you are paying back much more then the original debt. You should also note that it can be difficult to obtain credit for the duration of the loan.
