Do you find that you are earning hardly enough to pay all your debts? Unsecured loans like credit card or car loans come with a high interest rate because these loans do not require collateral. When you accumulate unsecured loans, you will get a big snowball of debts and soon, you might need quick solution to handle your debts. Debt consolidation is one of the most common solutions taken by debtors whereby a secured loan is obtained to settle all the unsecured loans. In a debt consolidation loan, the debtor will have to pledge assets as collateral for the loan. The interest rate is lower this way, but requires a longer time to settle.
You can acquire brochures from various reputable debt consolidation companies or banks to read up the terms and conditions. Look into the terms carefully to ensure that by applying for the loan, you do not end up paying more than your accumulated debts. Choose the loan carefully because if you end up unable to repay the loan, you might lose your home or car. Opt for the debt consolidation loan that has a low interest rate and reasonable repayment duration. Check and see if the loan allows you to pay extra payments to shorten the repayment duration.
Then, get a financial advisor to calculate all your existing debts and check if debt consolidation is your best solution. Find out how much you will need to pay every month and determine whether you have enough money to pay for the loan after deducting monthly expenses from your income. If you cannot afford to pay the same amount every month, then this is not the right option for you.
Be sure that you have already understood all the obligations of both parties before signing the agreement of a debt consolidation loan. It is better if you can bring along a financial advisor to give you advice. After signing up for a loan, prevent yourself from using credit cards as it can be addictive. Get a part time job to support yourself as well as earn more to settle your debts in advance.
