The Four Options Of Debt Consolidation
Our aim here is to tell you everything you need to know to make a good decision if you are looking at consolidating your debts. There’s many options you need to consider and you may have to be honest with yourself to help determine the best solution.
First question you need to ask yourself is how much debt do you have? Is it a relatively small amount, or is it a larger amount. For now we’ll look at under £10,000 and over £10,000 just to make this easier
Unsecured Loan
Firstly there’s an unsecured loan. An unsecured loan is a good option if you have an absolutely perfect credit rating and have a relatively small amount of debt (less than £5000 generally). If you’ve missed payments, made late payments, have any defaults or CCJs then you are unlikely to get an unsecured loan.
Debt Management Plan
If you have up to £10,000 of debt, you can apply for a Debt Management Course. A Debt Management Plan is perhaps a better option if you’re looking to get your debts paid off or have had trouble keeping up with your payments at the moment.
