Is a debt consolidation loan right for me?

Raising another loan is seldom the answer to a serious debt issue. Actually, a debt consolidation loan only increases the amount you are indebted to (the refinance must pay the current debt plus the interest on the new loan) and extends the payment over a longer term.

These types of loans can be an appropriate option in certain situations, such as the consolidation of a relatively small amount of debt (usually many smaller debt with high interest rate, such as debit cards), which will reduce the amount of money repayable each month to an amount that allows you to cover your cost of monthly living and still repay the debt within a fair period of time.

Yet, if you have a serious debt issue, then there are alternate solutions that will actually decrease the amount you owe yourself (see IVA, debt relief arrangement and bankruptcy). When considering securitizing a debt consolidation loan against your home, you should always consider remote margining first, as the conditions of repayments are often more favorable.
