A debt consolidation loan is when you replace a number of unsecured loans and debts with one single personal loan.

Debt consolidation may allow you to:

• One payment instead of numerous payments.
• Decreased interest rates.
• Lower repayments (due to extended payment period).

All of the above may help you to manage your finances more comfortably and put you in a better financial position.

However, it is important that when considering debt consolidation you know what you are doing and take into account the following:

• The loan will actually benefit you and not bring you back to a worse situation in the future.
• Your credit rating, how this will affect your chances of getting a debt consolidation loan and how it will affect your interest rate.
• You are able to take control over your debts and not have them control you.
• You are paying less on your repayments and not more.
• Hidden costs from the loan provider.

This can sometimes be a tricky process, however Credit Repair Australia® specialise in structuring debts to allow you to take control of your finances.
