You want to reduce your debts more quickly

Yes, you might be perfectly able to afford your monthly debt repayments along with all your essential expenses (like your mortgage, bills and food). You might, however, want to clear your debts more quickly – or simplify the repayment process.

Slogging away at your debts each month and seeing them only slightly decrease can be really demotivating. That’s why it will help to pay more than the minimum payment – if you can. It’s important to note that you shouldn’t compromise your essential expenses to pay your unsecured debts off more quickly.

Debt consolidation

You might also find it hard to reduce your personal debts more quickly if you have several different payments to make each month to different lenders.

You could make the repayment process simpler (but not necessarily more affordable) by combining all of your debts together into a single debt. You can do this by using a debt consolidation loan. When looking for a debt consolidation loan, it helps to find one with a lower interest rate than all of your other debts, as well as being large enough to cover all of the debts you want to consolidate.

Pay off all of your current debts with your consolidation loan and you’ll be left with just the consolidation loan to repay each month. So it’ll just be one payment to one lender, with one interest rate.

You may even have the choice to arrange to repay your consolidation loan slightly faster or slower than your original debts. This will mean that your monthly payments will be either larger or smaller respectively. Remember that repaying a consolidation loan over a longer amount of time will give interest more time to grow – and that you could be putting your property at risk if you secure a debt against your house and don’t keep up with repayments.

You can’t afford your monthly repayments

If – no matter how much you budget, scrimp and scrape – you can no longer meet your monthly debt repayments, ..
