Debt Consolidation

Debt consolidation is taking out one loan to pay off several others. It is often done to secure a lower interest rate, secure a fixed interest rate or for the convenience of servicing only one loan.

Consolidation of your debt is often advisable when someone is paying credit card debt. Credit cards can carry a much larger interest rate than even an unsecured loan from a bank.

Essentials of Consolidation

  • Lower Interest Rate
  • Your Debt Consolidation loan may have a lower interest rate than the rate you are paying on credit cards
  • extended terms
  • With extended terms of a consolidation loan, you may be able to reduce your total monthly payments.
  • one monthly payment
  • In stead of having to make payments to several companies each month, you will now have only one monthly payment.
  • Budgeting
  • Many financial institutions will require you to make a monthly budget to see if you can meet your loan payments
  • Source of Income
  • The bank will need to know your source of income, bring your recent paystub, and your last year's tax return
  • Security
  • To satisfy prerequisites set up by the lending institution for debt refinancing, you may need a co-signor or collateral (such as a car or a house).

To determine if you qualify for a Debt Consolidation loan, contact your banker or finance company. There are a number of companies that specialize in dealing with people in financial trouble and, especially, with bad credit.
