One of the most common questions asked is...

"How Will Consolidating My Debt With a Secured Loan Benefit Me?"

Most of us have some sort of debt or other and when it is made up of many different loans or accounts the financial burden of servicing them all can be quite overwhelming especially in these times of crushing interest rates.

However there is a way to not only relieve the financial pressure of your outstanding debt, but also to be able to service these debts with one monthly payment.

Savvy debt management is all about reducing the amount of interest and monthly charges you are paying on your outstanding debts like bank overdrafts, credit cards and clothing accounts.

How do I do this? - I hear you ask...

Well here are your options to reduce your monthly debt commitments.

How to Consolidate Debt to Reduce Monthly Payments

• Debt Consolidation Loans
  
  You can get a debt consolidation loan from a lending institution which would normally be at a lower overall interest rate than the all your other debts are pegged at. You would then settle all of your smaller debts and concentrate on paying off the consolidation loan.
  
  
• Bond or Home Loan
  
  Accessing capital from the equity in your bond or home loan is probably one of the cheapest ways of consolidating your debt. This is because the interest rate of your bond would be a lot lower than the rate of your hire purchase or other credit agreements.
  
  
• Refinance Your Mortgage
  
  If you don't have the equity available in your mortgage to borrow from it you could refinance your property. This would in effect provide you with extra capital which can be used to pay off your other debt which would again be at a significantly lower rate of interest, thereby saving you pots of money. You should also negotiate a longer repayment term if you need to reduce your monthly payment commitments.
  
  
• Secured Loans
  
  A secured loan is one of the cheapest sources of finance due to it being secured on your property This type of debt consolidation loan is suitable for property owners as your property is the security for the loan lender. So if you own property getting a secured loan is fairly easy as well as offering a low rate of interest, long repayment period and large amount of loan.
  
  

The following are very costly debts that you should settle with a secured loan or consolidate into your mortgage include, inter alia, the following;

• Credit card debt
  
  
• Store cards
  
  
• Unsecured short-term loans
  
  
• Car Loans
  
  

The bad thing about the above type of debt is that the interest rate can range from 15% to more than 60% which is far higher than your bond interest rate.

So you can see that paying so much interest is not only outrageous but a huge waste of your money.

So if you are suffocating under a growing pile of debt take out a consolidation loan and pay off all your bad debt like your overdraft and clothing accounts.

A word of warning:

By consolidating the above debts into one home loan package you are moving short-term debt into long-term debt.

You are therefore strongly advised to continue repaying the same amount that you have been paying on all your current debt into your new increased home loan account.

This will enable you to pay off your debt faster, far cheaper and therefore save you more money.
