Debt Consolidation

Stuck on the debt merry-go-round? You have options

#FINANCIALFREEDOM

Is debt consolidation right for you?

Debt consolidation involves taking out one large debt to pay out several smaller debts, which would then be closed. Well advertised options for debt consolidation include unsecured personal loans.

This is where you have several short-term, high-interest debts (e.g. credit card debts, payday loans and overdue bills) that are combined into one loan. By taking out an unsecured personal loan you benefit from a lower interest rate and the convenience of one payment.

With a decade and a half of experience in the industry we’ll help you on the path to a debt free future, in just 3 steps.

How it can help?

For example, Helen has three separate credit card debts totalling $9,000.00. Each card carries a different interest rate, and each payment is due at a different time. This makes it very difficult for her to keep track of her finances and ensure that repayments are paid on time.

She is charged an average interest rate of 19% per year, and has already repaid more than the value of the original debt. Deciding that enough is enough, Helen applies for a debt consolidation loan. She uses the money from the loan to pay off her credit debt. Helen now has a loan for $9,000.00 over 7 years, with an interest rate of 15.45% per year. Her monthly repayment has only gone down $4.00, but at least she will be debt-free in 7 years.

Debt Type Balance Repayment Interest Rate
Credit Card 1 Balance$3,000.00 Repayment$60.00 Interest Rate19.00%
Credit Card 2 Balance$2,000.00 Repayment$40.00 Interest Rate17.00%

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A Couple Things People Ask

Should I consolidate debt?

Firstly, we will consider whether consolidating your debt is the right solution for you. It can give you the chance to combine your debts into one affordable repayment that is easier to manage. But a standard debt consolidation loan will still see you paying considerable interest on your debt. 

You can reduce high-interest loans such as credit cards and unsecured debts into a more affordable option by freezing interest and fees with our debt solutions. Saving you hundreds, if not thousands, per year in interest alone.

How do I know what debt solution is right for me?

Working your way through the options available regarding your debt situation can be overwhelming. Our experienced and understanding consultants can help get clarity on your options.

What debts can be consolidated?

Generally speaking, unsecured debts can be consolidated.

Unsecured debt is any type of debt that is not secured to an asset like a car or a house. This includes debts on some personal loans, tax bills and credit cards. Your house and car are likely to have security against them.

What will it cost?

Fees change depending on the option and the level of debt. Have a chat with one of our Debt Consultants and they will calculate what your total payments will be, including all fees and charges.
