Unsecured Debt Consolidation Loans: Right For You?
By RG Price
RG Price
Bankruptcy is an ugly word, but a distinct possibility to many people struggling to overcome a laundry list of debts that never seem to end. At times, that pile of debts seems impossible to deal with, a mountain you’ll never get out from under without taking drastic measures. But isn’t the only way out of a life bound to the deluge of bills, late fees and more bills.
Consider consolidating your debt in a single loan, a form of refinancing that helps you put your finances back under your control and your life back in order. But loan consolidation is for people who own their own home, right? What if you don’t have one, or you don’t want to risk losing it by putting it up for collateral? That’s where an unsecured debt consolidation loan comes into play.
Unsecured debt consolidation loans do not require collateral. You can retire that mountain of bills and keep your house – or lack thereof – out of it. Lenders are able to stay in business by reducing their risk with higher interest rates than they offer on secured loans.
But this can still translate into lower monthly payments for you, certainly if your bills carry high interest rates in the beginning and you’ve fallen into the trap of paying late and accruing outlandish late payment fees. Those disappear when you pay off that debt with the moneys from your consolidation loan and you may be able to negotiate a better interest rate. It is better to have a good credit score since lenders will consider that for your unsecured debt consolidation loan. And don’t forget, shopping around certainly pays off; lenders do look at your credit and work history when they consider you for a loan.
If you look around, negotiate, and regardless find that the interest rate is not going to make enough of a difference in your monthly payment to make life bearable
again, consider electing to get a long-term loan. While you will generally end up paying out a larger total sum by the end of the loan, increasing the term of your unsecured debt consolidation loan will decrease your average monthly payment. That right there could make all the difference in the world.
Unpaid or slow-paid bills wreaking havoc on your credit score? Some lenders will consider you regardless of your payment history. A good work history proves a better risk, and even if you don’t have the best work history there are, again, lenders who will offer unsecured debt consolidation loans to practically anyone. While the interest rates are higher and the amounts of what they’ll loan are lower, your credit score will improve when you get the loan, and having all those debts paid off will do a lot to increase your credit score.
If you bills are driving you nuts to the point that you’re really considering bankruptcy, stop. Gather up those credit card bills, utility bills, department store card bills, medical bills and any other bill that’s costing you sleep at night. Consider an unsecured debt consolidation loan and see how easy it can be to re-establish your credit and give you peace of mind.
