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.

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.

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?
