UK consolidation unsecured loans could be the answer if you want
to bring all your debts under one roof or are finding it
difficult meeting your monthly repayments to your creditors. Our
leading lenders offer a selection of competitive loans for a
wide variety of purposes, including debt consolidation.
The main advantage of debt consolidation is that as you pay off
all your credit and store card debts and other loans with one
new loan, you could have monthly repayments which are lower than
the sum you are currently paying. The disadvantage is that you
will be making monthly repayments for a much longer period in
order to pay off the loan. UK consolidation unsecured loans can
also help to reduce the pressure you may be under from a number
of creditors - dealing with just one creditor can be a lot
simpler. You need to keep in mind that when you settle your
debts you may be charged a redemption penalty or early
settlement fee by your creditors. Some companies charge up to
two months interest if you settle your debt before the due date
agreed at the outset. So make sure that when working out the
amount you need a consolidation loan for, you ask your creditors
for a settlement figure, not a balance, as you need to include
any extra charges. Once you know how much you need to borrow and
find out how much UK consolidation unsecured loans will cost, do
a monthly income and expenditure exercise so that you are sure
that you can comfortably afford the repayments. Don't forget to
include an amount each month for emergencies.
UK consolidation unsecured loans have the advantage of not being
secured on your home, as is the case with secured consolidation
loans. This means that if you default on your repayments you are
not in immediate danger of losing your home through
repossession. A work of caution though: lenders have been known
to act aggressively in order to protect their investment and may
take court proceedings if you fail to pay back the loan. Because
the lending company is taking a greater risk with no security or
collateral to back the loan, you will generally pay higher
interest rates for these unsecured loans.
The lender will levy an interest charge on UK consolidation
unsecured loans and the amount you pay will depend on a number
of factors. This will include the amount of the consolidation
loan, the number of years you will need to pay it off and your
personal circumstances and credit history. Lenders flexibly
asses each case individually, rating their risk against your
ability to repay the loan. Typical interest rates are advertised
by lenders but these are only an indication of the rate you are
likely to get and not a guaranteed rate. Lenders also refer to
variable and fixed rates. Variable interest rates are linked to
the bank base rate which means that your monthly repayments
could go up and down with fluctuations in the bank base rate.
This could be of benefit to you if the rate drops but you could
also end up paying a lot more for your loan if it goes up. Fixed
rate UK consolidation unsecured loans have an interest rate
which is set with the loan agreement and this does not change
throughout the term of the loan, regardless of what happens to
the bank base rate.
