If you have many loans and credit cards and are feeling the weight bearing down on you with the many monthly repayments, then the answer to your problems could be a bad credit consolidation loan. A consolidation loan means that you take out one single loan and pay off all the other creditors and just make one easy and simple payment every month on the consolidation loan.
However if you have a history of bad credit then you will no doubt have found that getting a consolidation loan to do this and get back on track is a lot harder than it sounds. If you have a history of bad credit any lender is going to be very sceptical about lending you more money, this is when you should go to someone who specialises in bad credit loans and in particular bad credit consolidation loans.
If you can get a consolidation loan then this will make the monthly outgoings easier and help you to save on the amount you have going out each month, particularly if the current loans and credit cards have a high rate of interest on them. However it is essential that you shop around when it comes to getting a consolidation loan and you take into account the amount of time you have left outstanding on your current loans and credit cards in relation to the term of the new loan. While in the short term you could be saving on the monthly outgoings over the longer term it could end up costing you hundreds or thousands of pounds more.
Also take into account that if you go for a secured bad credit consolidation loan that you will be putting your home up against the loan and as such you risk losing the roof over your head.
Always make sure you understand the requirements of the loan and the total you will be paying put and take into account that the interest rate on your consolidation loan may rise in time.
