The Disadvantages of a debt consolidation loan

* Can pay more over a longer period.

* May incur additional costs for setting up the loan.

* If secured, your property may be at risk.

* You will be left with only one creditor - this can make it difficult to negotiate should you have further problems in repaying your loan.

* If the loans you are consolidating have all the interest added at the start you may in effect be paying interest twice. The interest charged for the first loan and the interest charged for the consolidation.

I took out a secured loan some years ago and the biggest mistake i made was not to get a fixed rate it went from 6.9% APR to 18% in a matter of months.

Debt consolidation, like all debt solutions has its pros and cons. While it may work for some, it may not work for others. People who seek out debt relief of any sort do so because they are struggling with making their current payments. The benefit of debt consolidation is a reduced monthly payment. This is what consumers in debt are seeking, and this is what the greatest benefit should be for any debt relief program.

The only really important things are the setting up costs, the interest rate and the term of the loan but none matter in isolation. The combined effect is the total amount to be repaid.

Unsecured debt consolidation loans are usually the most disadvantageous since they provide a higher risk to the lender and therefore they only allow a small amount for a loan.
