  This finance and money guide will give you several points of information about debt consolidation that will help to guide you if you are looking at improving your financial position when facing mounting debt.


What is debt consolidation?
 

Debt consolidation entails taking out one loan to pay off many other loans (or debt). This is often done to secure a lower interest rate, secure a fixed interest rate or for the convenience of servicing (paying back) only one loan (consolidated debt).

Debt consolidation can simply be consolidating a number of unsecured loans into another unsecured loan, but more often it involves a secured loan against an asset that serves as collateral, which is most commonly a house (in this case a mortgage is secured against the house.) The collateralisation of the loan allows a lower interest rate than without it, because by collateralising, the asset owner agrees to allow the forced sale (foreclosure) of the asset in order to pay back the loan. The risk to the lender is reduced so the interest rate offered is lower.
   

Who would use debt consolidation?
  Anyone that has multiple debts (or loans) could consider debt consolidation to get them a better interest rate and the simpler circumstances whereby you can service just the one loan and reduce your debt in a managed and quicker way.
   

Why would you use debt consolidation?
  The main advantage of debt consolidation is the financial freedom of working many or all of your outstanding debts into one lower interest rate loan. This will help you save money and make it easier to pay back the consolidated loan.

Consolidating your debt can reduce the pressure on you by managing the debt in a clear and simple way.
   

When would you use debt consolidation?
  You could use debt consolidation when you are in the position of servicing many loans at high interest rates, where consoldiating them would make your life easier and also benefit from the lower interest rates on offer.

If you have a number of debts or loans then possibly the best time to consider debt consolidation is as soon as possible.
   

Where can you organise debt consolidation?
  You can usually organise debt consolidation through your existing financial institution, finance brokers or through specialised debt consolidation organisations.

You can also research on the Internet for financial institutions or financial services that specialise in debt consolidation.

Always seek the advice of a trusted and reputable financial advisor when looking into debt consolidation.
