Personal loans, car loans, credit cards and store cards? If you find your mailbox full each month with multiple repayment reminders – it might be time to make some important decisions about the overall management of your debt.

Debt consolidation – how does it work?

Consolidating your debt into one manageable loan can be a smart way to not only get your finances in order and save money, but also to reduce the amount of paperwork you deal with on a monthly basis.

A QSCU personal loan for debt consolidation is where multiple loans and debts, such as store cards, credit cards and other personal loans are replaced with a single personal loan.

Debt consolidation does however, take a degree of discipline and while in the end you are usually better off to consolidate, it is important to bear in mind the following:

Pros

  • reduced interest rates – this will allow you to save money
  • lower monthly payments – this can help you to manage your finances more effectively
  • one payment – potentially lower fees with only one loan instead of several, and less paperwork

Cons

  • you can get into further debt – be sure to set yourself a payment level each month and stick to it 
  • time to pay off debt – without making extra payments, it can take longer to pay off your debt
