Debt Consolidation

Debt consolidation is an option for those who are in debt and finding it hard to repay their monthly repayments.

Frequently Asked Questions

To put it simply, debt consolidation is taking your multiple debts and rolling them into a single loan, which is then subject to a single interest rate and with one single monthly repayment. This way you can deal with one lender, making payment easier while also possibly making less of a payment due to the loan subject to a better interest rate as well as a single interest rate as mentioned above.

Unsecured debts such as credit card debt, personal loans or student loans, are eligible for debt consolidation.

One of the biggest benefits of debt consolidation is that you will often be given a lower interest rate than you are currently receiving on your credit card or personal loans which means you could end up with some big savings over the course of the debt consolidation loan.

A single lender will also make payment easier and save you money on fees and late payments.
