If debt consolidation appears to be in your list of how to get rid of your debts, think twice whether if it is worth it. It may seem to be an easy way out by settling your existing debts with a secured loan that gives you a longer repayment period and lower interest. In reality, things may not seem to be as good as it is because you might end up paying more than what you should.

Debt consolidation may sound very appealing because you only need to pay one loan instead of several debts; you get lower interest rates, longer repayment period and you only have one creditor. By shedding the burden off your shoulders with this method, you are actually welcoming potential disasters.

These secured loans are like lurking danger – a little mistake can cause you to lose everything. It is required that debtors pledge properties in order to apply for the loan. If you fail to foot your credit card bills, the worst it can get is you will get blacklisted by the banks. But if you fail to do payments for your secured loan, you might lose the property that you have given up as collateral. Continue reading ‘Debt Consolidation – Is it Worth It?’ »

There are several things you can do to make the task of paying bills seem like less of a chore. For example, online bill-paying is fast and convenient. Not only do you avoid the hassle of writing checks and sealing the envelopes, applying stamps and filling out your return address (or adding that return-address label), you also save the time and money that would have been required for a trip to the post office for stamps.

Several utility companies and suppliers of regular services (insurance, for example) are happy to set up automatic withdrawals. Keep an eye on your account to make sure transactions are put through accurately and as scheduled. You can usually set up a withdrawal limit with the bank, too, to head off any potential errors.

Some services can be pre-paid, giving you extra control over budgetary concerns. If you have provided your kids with cell phones, the pre-paid variety are an ideal way to keep their calls and text messaging in check, and head off some expensive surprises!

Have a reasonable budget and stick to it. Bill paying is far more frustrating when your resources are over-burdened. Try to live within your means and plan ahead for those regular expenses. If you can set aside a little money in a reserve fund, in case unexpected bills do pop up, that stashed-away cash can really come in handy and help reduce potential stress.

Low credit score loans are available in different forms – as an unsecured loan, as a secured loan, and even as a mortgage. A low credit score lender will typically target people who have an average-to-poor credit rating. A typical customer will have been late on a payment, perhaps have a CCJ against their name, or have a large number of credit cards & loans in their name over a short period of time.

What you want from a lender will depend on your current situation. You are most likely already aware that you won’t be able to get a market leading APR with your loan, or even close to it. You should first consider what type of loan you want. If you want to borrow over £500 then a personal loan should probably be your first choice, even if you are a homeowner. If you have trouble paying back a personal loan you are much less likely to lose your home than you are with a secured loan. Plus the APR probably won’t be too different between these types of loan. If you only want to borrow a small amount of money, say below £500, then a payday loan may be a better option for you. Continue reading ‘Types of Low Credit Score Loans’ »
