Money Smart – Debt consolidation loan

  • Loan Type Debt consolidation

Benefits of Money Smart

  • Become debt-free
  • Competitive interest rates
  • Flexible loan terms
  • Affordable monthly repayment

Money Smart has helped thousands of Australians get back on track

Clients with bad credit are, unfortunately, disqualified for debt consolidations, since not all lenders accept bad credit applicants.

In which case, Money Smart would advise such a client to apply for a bad credit loan, with a different lender. To qualify for a debt consolidation loan, it is required for your income balance (after deductions), to be higher than your estimated monthly down-payment. A superb credit history would, without question, be to the client’s advantage.

Steer clear of debt consolidation mistakes

When closing the debt consolidation loan deal, clients are obligated to pay the closing costs. This closing cost consists of a small percentage, calculated from your loan amount, and it would be advisable that clients pay this amount with their own money.

By not paying this closing cost, you end up increasing the total loan amount, and as a result, your loan becomes inflated. These additional costs will be added to your loan amount and you will be expected to pay interest for the whole loan term. Thus, making your monthly payment bigger.

It serves no purpose if the client takes out a consolidation loan that will further indebt the client. The client should rather make sure that the loan has lower interest rates and fees that would, as a result, resolve their problem.

Obtain help and support

Before attempting to apply for a debt consolidation loan with Money Smart, you must compute the sum-total of your debt, the amount you need to loan, as well as the repayments of your new loan.

These calculations can be complex and to make the best decision for your situation, careful analysis is needed. Money Smart provides professional credit counselors who can help you decide on the best decision for your predicament.
