Debt Consolidation: BE DEBT FREE--The different
ways to consolidate your debts.
by: Mike Clive
A debt consolidation loan is a loan taken to
consolidate a number of loans into one manageable loan. A debt consolidation
loan can also help you in reducing the cost of your total debt as it usually
carries a lower rate of interest than other loans, such as personal loans,
credit cards, car loans, etc. A debt consolidation loan with an extended
loan period can reduce the amount of your monthly loan repayments.
Thus, there are three main objectives of debt
consolidation:
· To consolidate a number of loans into
one manageable loan.
· To reduce the cost of debt.
· To reduce the amount of monthly loan
repayments. |
You may avail different
types of loans to consolidate your debt:
Secured Loans
Debt consolidation through secured loans is
a logical thing to do since secured loans carry low rates of interest and
one of the objectives of debt consolidation is to reduce the cost of debt.
However, you must be very careful while consolidating your debt through secured
loans since it puts your property at the risk of repossession in case of
repeated defaults in repayment on your part.
Unsecured Loans
You may also consolidate your debt through unsecured
loans. However, before availing an unsecured loan to consolidate your debt,
make sure that it does not carry a very high rate of interest otherwise the
very objective of reducing the cost of debt will be defeated.

Equity Loan
Home equity loan is a type of secured loan.
Home equity is the value left in a house after subtracting the unpaid mortgage
balance from the current value of the house. A home equity loan is a second
mortgage, which is taken against a house that is already mortgaged.
Low Interest Credit Cards
You can also reduce your debt burden by availing
a new credit card that charges a lower rate of interest than your existing
credit cards. If you use a low interest credit card to repay your earlier
credit card dues, it will greatly reduce your debt burden. This can be even
more beneficial when the new credit card offers 0% interest credit if it
is repaid within a stipulated time.
