Too Much Debt? Try Debt Consolidation.

Too Much Debt? Try Debt Consolidation.

For individuals and families who find themselves struggling every month to pay multiple creditors, a comparison of debt consolidation methods is in order. Consolidating your debts makes it possible to pay off your existing accounts and simplify your recordkeeping: instead of paying off a number of different accounts every month, you can make one payment to one company each month. There are a few different options to consolidate your debt, choose one that works best for your financial situation:

Debt Consolidation Loan

People who have reasonable credit ratings can often obtain a debt consolidation loan from a bank or other organisation. The loan can be used to pay off each of your individual creditors, so that you are left with just the loan payment each month. Not only do you have a single payment instead of multiple payments, but you are reducing your interest from several accounts charging different interest rates, to a single, fixed interest rate on the total balance of the debt.

Home Equity Loan

A homeowner with equity in their home can take out a home equity loan and use it to pay off their debts. Home equity loans are secured by your home so if you do this you must understand that you have to make your payments as agreed - or your home can be taken from you. If you are confident you will make your payments, using a home equity loan is often a low interest solution to paying off excessive debts with higher interest and giving you more breathing room financially each month.

Debt Consolidation Companies

For individuals who have very poor credit, often a good solution may be to work with a debt counseling or debt consolidation company. These companies work to negotiate lower interest rates with each of your creditors, and set you up with a monthly repayment plan. The majority of these companies will take your payment each month and make payments to your creditors for you - just keep in mind that you want to select a reputable company to ensure that your money goes where it's supposed to.

Balance Transfers for Credit Cards

If the majority of your debt is on credit cards, it may be worth researching a credit card with a 0% balance transfer offer, or a low interest balance transfer offer and then move each individual credit card balance onto the single card. The best balance transfer offers have 0% or a low fixed interest rate for the life of the balance transfer; but if you don't qualify for that offer you can probably find an offer for no or low interest for at least 12 months. This will at least help you may off a good chunk of your debt interest-free; and it's possible that at the end of the 12 months you can qualify for a new balance transfer offer to help you pay off the remaining debt.
