Debt Consolidationis the process refinancing a number of existing loans as well as debts such as credit cards, store cards and unsecured personal loans into a single loan. The new loan amount will represent the total of all the smaller loans and account balances. Debt Consolidation is generally a good idea even though on face value there may be no reason for this.

By consolidating all your unsecured debts into one larger debt you can usually negotiate a lower interest rate for that single outstanding debt and so therefore reduce your monthly repayment. If you are a property owner with equity in your home – debt consolidation is even more financially advantageous. By consolidating all your unsecured debts into your mortgage you are able to pay home loan interest rate on your personal loans and credit card debt – it can not get any better.


When applying for a debt consolidation loan you need to be aware of the following:

• Debt Consolidation is not a short term fix, while your repayments will drop immediately, it will take some time for you to pay off outstanding debts;
• You will benefit from a reduction in your overall payments pretty much from day one;
• You will finally be able to take control of your financial position;
• No matter whether you are looking to become debt free or save for a deposit on your own home – debt consolidation will help you get there sooner;
