By taking out a debt consolidation loan which covers all your outstanding debts, you’ll hopefully only have to pay back one creditor at the end of every month. This brings everything you owe into one place and can help to alleviate the stress from having multiple lenders chasing you. As well as this, the loan could help reduce the amount you pay each month.
However, before making your application it’s important you have a good understanding of the different consolidation loan types and the circumstances when it is the best solution. Debt consolidation loans have two forms, secured and unsecured:
Secured
This is when a loan is fixed against an asset, usually your home. By securing your property on the loan you are more likely to be accepted. However, if you fall behind on payments you could risk losing your home.
Unsecured
An unsecured loan is when you don’t have to offer your home, or any other asset, as security. However, you may also have to pay more interest on this loan than you would if it was secured.
Debt consolidation loans cover a wide variety of expenses. For example:
However, there are certain outgoings which cannot be consolidated. These include:

If you still think a consolidation loan could be right for you, then our trusted partners can provide amounts up to £75,000 and will consider all credit scores. Our application form is simple and you won’t pay any upfront fees.
Whether or not a debt consolidation loan is the right decision depends entirely on your situation. If the following applies to you then this solution may not be the best choice:
If you have bad credit some companies may reject your debt consolidation loan application. We think this is unfair and we believe, no matter how poor your credit score, your history should not get between you and resolving your debts.
Therefore, Consolidation Express will always consider you. However, to get the best interest rates on your loan, you will generally need a good credit score. As a result, while you may receive the funds you’re after – and could start dealing with your lenders by this time tomorrow – you may have to pay higher interest rates than other customers.
Although debt consolidation has several advantages, it does have some negatives. For example:
If you decide this is the right option for you, then applying for the loan itself is easy.
Fill out our short online application
You will need to tell us how much you want to borrow and complete the section on personal details. All in all, this shouldn’t take you more than five minutes. Once you’ve completed it, our advisors will do the hard work and be in touch with your options shortly.
Settle existing debts with the loan
If approved for the loan, you’ll need to distribute the money between your existing creditors – closing accounts with them. You should then be left with just one creditor (us) who you will pay back monthly.
Keep up with the monthly repayments
Don’t worry, the repayment terms should be far better than what you’re currently on! Once you’ve repaid your consolidation loan, you should have cleared your debts and you’ll be ready to start a new chapter in your life.
At Consolidation Express, we want to help where we can and – regardless of your credit history – we promise your application will get treated with the respect it deserves. After running our standard checks on affordability, if we believe that a loan is the best solution for you then we will try our best to get this granted. Only one way to find out though, apply and we’ll get the ball rolling!
Whether a debt consolidation loan will hurt your credit score depends on your repayments. We reckon you’re a trustworthy person so, if you keep up with these, your credit rating should actually improve. This is quite the opposite from hurting it!
There are many other solutions to a debt consolidation loan so don’t worry if you’re not sold on this idea. When you apply, an advisor will take a look at your circumstances and might suggest an alternative. One which might be better suited to your needs.
Government debt consolidation loans do not exist. Debt management companies have been adopting phrases such as ‘government debt consolidation’ or ‘government debt advice’ which implies that the government approve of this kind of loan. However, this is never the case and the Financial Conduct Authority are working hard to clamp down on this kind of behaviour.
