Should I switch my loans and consolidate my debt?
Whether or not you should consolidate debt depends on specific circumstances. It will also depend on the number of creditors and outgoing bills you have as well as your overall debt amount.
When you should consider debt consolidation:
- If you’re having trouble staying on top of your debts and making your debt payments to a number of different creditors each month
- You want to pay off your debts and become debt free
- You have a good credit rating and can get a good interest rate on a consolidation loan.
Debt consolidation isn’t a silver bullet for all debt problems and it is not the solution if you’re overwhelmed by debt and have no realistic hope of clearing the amounts owed off even with reduced payments. There may be underlying issues such as excessive spending habits which create unmanageable debt in the first place. It’s important that these issues are tackled to avoid a recurring cycle of over indebtedness. Organisations such as the Money Advice and Budgeting Service offer impartial advice and play an important role in helping people to deal with problem debt.
