Often when people
are struggling to pay their debts every month, due to having a number
of credit cards and loans, they apply for a debt
consolidation loan. This is where they borrow enough money to pay
off all their debts (i.e. credit cards and other loans, not mortgage).
This helps to reduce your monthly outgoings, as you would be paying
one amount each month, this will be lower than you were paying before.
Also the interest rates are usually lower compared to credit card
rates.
You should think carefully before taking out a consolidation
loan, as there are downsides. Firstly, it is usually people with
bad credit histories who apply for debt consolidation loans and
once the loan is successful, they may be tempted to spend on the
cards they have just cleared, for example, a credit card or store
card, so may find themselves in more debt than before.
Also the term for a consolidation loan is usually over a longer
period.
