Consolidation Loans

A debt consolidation loan from Caboodle could assist you in rearranging your existing credit into one manageable payment at a level more comfortable for your monthly household budget.

It is often quite difficult to keep track of payments to several lenders, especially if they are credit cards and require you to remember to pay them each month by the due date, but a debt consolidation loan could make life a lot simpler by having just one payment going out at the same time each month by direct debit.

Rearranging your credit via a consolidation loan could significantly reduce the amount you pay back each month and can be tailored accordingly to meet your budget, although it is important to remember that the longer period you take the secured loan over the more interest you will repay over the term.

Many people taking out a debt consolidation loan do so to reduce their monthly outgoings in the short term with a view to potentially repaying the loan early at some point in the future, often by remortgaging. Many loans have low or no early repayment charges, meaning you are not tied in for any specific period of time and do not have to pay high penalties if you want to clear your loan early.

It is also quite common for people to use just part of their loan for credit consolidation, whilst at the same time releasing additional money for things like home improvements or a special purchase. This again provides the benefit of not only rearranging their existing credit into one manageable monthly payment but allows them to raise money for other things at the same time.

At Caboodle we have many consolidation loan plans available which can be used for full or part consolidation and your adviser will discuss these with you when you enquire. We also have access to a wide range of debt consolidation remortgage plans which your adviser will be able to discuss with you if you feel this option may also be of interest.
