What is debt consolidation?

Debt consolidation is a financial strategy that can provide relief and simplify the repayment process for individuals facing multiple debts. It involves merging multiple debts into a singular loan or payment, making it easier to manage and potentially reduce overall interest rates.

• Simplified Repayment: Instead of managing multiple due dates and payments, consolidating debts allows for a single monthly payment, making it easier to stay organized and on top of your financial obligations.
• Potential Interest Savings: By consolidating debts, you may be able to secure a lower interest rate or negotiate more favourable repayment terms, reducing the overall cost of your debt.
• Improved Cash Flow: Debt consolidation can free up cash flow by lowering your monthly payments. This extra breathing room can help you better manage your finances and allocate funds towards savings or other financial goals.

Getting started involves calculating how money you have. Review all your financial statements and consider the following: What types of debt you currently have, how much is owed on each, interest rates, monthly fees (if any), and any cancellation costs. It is important to carefully consider the terms and fees associated with debt consolidation options and ensure that it aligns with your financial goals, all of which a broker can help you with.
