A debt consolidation loan could be an ideal solution if you want to turn debts with multiple creditors into one easy payment.
By borrowing enough money to pay off the debts you owe now, you will only have to repay one lender.
A debt consolidation loan, covers all your outstanding debts, so that hopefully you only have to pay back one creditor at the end of each month. This helps prevent multiple lenders chasing you. The loan could also help reduce the amount you pay each month.

There are two types of debt consolidation loan:
Secured – where the amount you’ve borrowed is secured against an asset, usually your home. If you miss repayments, you could lose your home.
Unsecured – where the loan isn’t secured against your home or other assets.
Debt consolidation loans that are secured against your home are sometimes called homeowner loans.
Consolidating debts only makes sense if:
- any savings aren’t wiped out by fees and charges
- you can afford to keep up payments until the loan is repaid
- you use it as an opportunity to cut your spending and get back on track
- you end up paying less interest than you were paying before and the total amount payable is less (it could be more if you repay over a longer period).
Before you choose a debt consolidation loan, think about anything that might happen in the future which could stop you keeping up with repayments. For example, what if interest rates go up, or you fall ill or lose your job?
If you’re regularly using credit to pay for basic household bills, this would be a sign that you’re in financial distress.
A consolidation loan might not solve your problems.It’s important to get free debt advice before taking out a debt consolidation loan.
A debt consolidation loan definitely doesn’t make sense if:
- you can’t afford the new loan payments
- you don’t clear all your other credit commitments or debts with the loan
- you end up paying more overall (due to the monthly repayment being higher or the term of the agreement being longer), or
- you need help sorting out your debts rather than a new loan – a debt adviser might be able to negotiate with your creditors and arrange a repayment plan.
