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:

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 applicationYou 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 loanIf 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 repaymentsDon’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.

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.
