All unsecured debt such as collection agency debts, personal loans, medical bills, credit card debt, and student loans can be included in a consolidation loan. A consolidation loan gives you one monthly payment instead of several. With a consolidation loan:
- You will not be paying interest on each debt separately.
- Your late fees will reduce or will completely disappear.
- You will not be receiving telephone calls from creditors.
- You will be protecting your credit rating
The lending company will combine your total debt and give you a loan for this combined amount. This can help because you now will only be paying interest on one loan instead of several.
The lending company will also be able to extend the amount of time the other loans are due. This means, that if your loan was due to be completely paid off next year the lending company will be able to extend that loan and give you lower monthly payments. This has its ups and downs. Since, the loan will take longer to be off you will be in debt for longer, for that particular loan. So, you may not have that student load paid off when you had hoped. But, you will be paying less over a loner period of time.
