What is Debt Consolidation?
Debt consolidation is when you pay off all your different loans by taking out one bigger loan. The new loan enables you to combine your debt into one convenient place. Loans for debt consolidation often have lower interest rates and monthly payments than your other individual loans, making them an ideal way to simplify your financial life and potentially save some money.
When to Consolidate Your Debt
You should consolidate your debt only if it makes the most sense for your financial situation. You could consider debt consolidation if you have:
Several high-interest loans.
A large amount of debt that will take longer than a year to pay off.
A credit score that has rebounded from the last time you took out a loan.
Plans to practice healthy financial habits
The Benefits of Debt Consolidation Lending
Low-interest debt consolidation loans could offer several advantages depending on your situation and the type of loan you receive. A few benefits you could experience include:
Smaller monthly payments.
Faster debt repayment.
Higher credit score.
Simpler financial life.
Fewer payments and due dates to remember.

How quickly you pay it off depends on the total amount of debt, the interest rate, and the term of the consolidation loan. A longer term can mean a lower payment, but possibly more interest in the long run. Choosing a shorter term may mean saving interest and paying off the debt more quickly, but with a higher monthly payment. Let’s talk and see what the best loan option is for your specific situation!
-
If it is done the right way, NO! Many so-called consolidation companies promise reduced balances and lower payments to creditors, but they don’t tell you that the accounts you are including will need to become delinquent first, which WILL significantly hurt your credit. We See Things Differently at Blue Eagle, and can help you consolidate debt while IMPROVING your credit. Make an appointment today so we can help you with a plan!

This depends, and again, is dependent upon the organization you choose to consolidate with and their process.
