Once this is done, you\u2019ll owe money exclusively to a single lender, which many people find is much easier to manage in the long run. There are two distinct types of debt consolidation that you might consider:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unsecured Debt Consolidation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An unsecured debt consolidation loan is a personal loan that allows you to pay off other outstanding debts without risking a high-value item (such as your car, or home) as collateral. Generally speaking, these loans allow you to borrow up to \u00a325,000.<\/p>\n<p>These loans are more likely to be accepted on lower values, and if you\u2019re a lower-risk borrower.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Secured Debt Consolidation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you need to borrow over \u00a325,000, or if you\u2019re finding it difficult to find an unsecured loan as a result of poor credit history, or for any other reason, a secured debt consolidation loan might be a better fit for you.<\/p>\n<p>For a loan to be \u2018secure\u2019, lenders will use collateral as a safety net to ensure that they\u2019ll get their money in the event that you can\u2019t pay. For example: if you offer your car as collateral, if you miss payments, the lender might repossess it as a way to ensure full payment. If this is an option you\u2019re considering, you should make sure that the monthly payments are affordable \u2013 take plenty of time to research to find exactly the right loan for you.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-one-third fusion-column-last fusion-no-small-visibility\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;width:33.333333333333%;width:calc(33.333333333333% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.33333333333333 ) );\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element in-legacy-container\" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"709\" height=\"473\" title=\"Businesswoman signing paperwork\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themortgageheroes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/debt-consolidation-loan.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.themortgageheroes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/debt-consolidation-loan.jpg\" alt class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-1564\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27709%27%20height%3D%27473%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20709%20473%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27709%27%20height%3D%27473%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themortgageheroes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/debt-consolidation-loan-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.themortgageheroes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/debt-consolidation-loan-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themortgageheroes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/debt-consolidation-loan-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.themortgageheroes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/debt-consolidation-loan.jpg 709w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 709px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-5 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\"><h2>What are the Main Benefits?<\/h2>\n<p>There are a whole host of benefits if the consolidation loan is managed correctly:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You may be able to find a loan with a lower interest than what you\u2019re paying individually.

You should consider carefully whether it\u2019s a suitable option for your specific circumstances. For example: if you only have a few debts at a good APR, then a consolidation loan might not be the best course of action, because this is perfectly manageable, and you should focus on your existing repayment plans.<\/p>\n<p>Most consolidation loans are designed to handle debts where people owe multiple lenders. If you\u2019re not careful, you might find yourself owing more money to a single lender. This isn\u2019t always the case, though.<\/p>\n<p>If you owe money on a handful of high-interest loans, then consolidating these loans into a single, lower interest loan could be a financially sound decision. When considering anything of this nature, it\u2019s always worth consulting with a financial advisor to discuss your unique situation before proceeding.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-7 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling fusion-equal-height-columns\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-background-color:#f8f8f8;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-8 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-column-content-centered\"><div class=\"fusion-column-content\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-10\"><h2>Alternatives to Debt Consolidation<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes, taking out additional loans isn\u2019t the best idea, especially if you feel that it will encourage you to borrow even more on top.<\/p>\n<p>Many people with debt will often create a debt management plan, where a debt advisor will negotiate a payment plan with your lenders to help you keep on top of everything, and to help keep interest rates down.
