Credit Card Debt Consolidation
So what exactly is debt consolidation? The idea of consolidating your debts has been around since the dinosaurs (well, not quite that long but you get the idea!) It has stood the test of time because when used correctly it can provide a manageable solution for your debt problems. We have been finding our clients debt consolidation remortgages since we set up around 25 years ago and customers today are still enquiring about this option and see the potential value of it today. The idea is a pretty simple one. You take a number of credit debts, for example credit card, store card, personal loan, car loan, overdraft and so on and pay the balances off by moving them to a single, hopefully lower repayment. Please note you will pay more overall by extending the term of your credit. The theory is that by consolidating you aim to end up paying less each month and can take some pressure off your monthly household finances.Refinance Remortgage
In particular a debt consolidation remortgage can work especially well for credit card debt consolidation or a mixture of personal loans and store card consolidation by refinancing those debts into a more manageable monthly payment. You can often feel like you are paying over the odds just on the interest rates on many credit cards. If you take out credit on just a few cards and grow the balances this could mean that your bills keep escalating and if you are not careful may reach new heights that you never expected, or accounted for in your household finances.Credit cards are often used for short term finance and can be helpful to fund something essential and enable you to pay it back over a slightly longer period, but many people fall into the trap of using them for long term finance only ever making the minimum repayment. Even if you cut them up and stop using them your existing balance can continue to run up. Consolidating your credit card debts into a remortgage may let you re-structure the debt and can enable you to pay down the debt instead of leaving it in place.
Take Control of Your Finances
However if you can make cuts elsewhere to get on top of those credit bills then that could be a faster way out overall . So look at your outgoings carefully, find out where the money is going. If you cannot make budget adjustments to get on top of your finances and decide to use a debt consolidation remortgage to borrow enough money to pay off all (or most) of your credit card, personal loan and store card debt at once then you can speak to us without any obligation and in confidence on 0800 298 3000 (landline) or 0333 0031505 (mobile).

How a mortgage can be used to consolidate your debts
Video transcript
If your unsecured or secured loan debts or credit are mounting, you could look into taking out a debt consolidation mortgage to help put you back onto a more stable financial footing.Office for National Statistics figures show that wages aren`t keeping up with inflation, so people are more inclined to borrow in order to maintain their existing way of life.
However, if this spending isn`t kept in check, it could lead to a descent into a debt spiral, as people make further unsecured borrowings to pay off previous debts and maintain life style.
A debt consolidation mortgage can set you back on the right path, and effectively draw a line under your credit and personal loan borrowing, so that repayments don`t get away from you.
Key is you have to budget better once you go through this loop, as it is not something you can keep doing. So some lifestyle adjustments may be necessary.
With this kind of home loan, the equity in your property would be used to pay off things like personal loans, credit cards and store credit, leaving you with a single payment to make each month.
Not only is this easier to keep track of, but it should also mean repayments are smaller.
Bear in mind that you need to look at the total amount paid back on when consolidating debts as you may pay back more over the term.
So aim to keep the term as short as you can whilst making sure you can afford the repayments.
To identify a suitable debt consolidation mortgage for you, you should consult First Choice Finance and let us use our long experience to back you.
As part of our support we will provide you with a no-obligation free personal illustration that you`re free to turn down if you just don`t feel like going ahead, contact us today – fill in our short enquiry form or give us a call when you are ready to get some realistic figures to ponder.
