UK Consolidation Unsecured Loans

UK consolidation unsecured loans could be the answer if you want to bring all your debts under one roof or are finding it difficult meeting your monthly repayments to your creditors. Our leading lenders offer a selection of competitive loans for a wide variety of purposes, including debt consolidation. The main advantage of debt consolidation is that as you pay off all your credit and store card debts and other loans with one new loan, you could have monthly repayments which are lower than the sum you are currently paying. The disadvantage is that you will be making monthly repayments for a much longer period in order to pay off the loan. UK consolidation unsecured loans can also help to reduce the pressure you may be under from a number of creditors - dealing with just one creditor can be a lot simpler. You need to keep in mind that when you settle your debts you may be charged a redemption penalty or early settlement fee by your creditors. Some companies charge up to two months interest if you settle your debt before the due date agreed at the outset. So make sure that when working out the amount you need a consolidation loan for, you ask your creditors for a settlement figure, not a balance, as you need to include any extra charges. Once you know how much you need to borrow and find out how much UK consolidation unsecured loans will cost, do a monthly income and expenditure exercise so that you are sure that you can comfortably afford the repayments. Don't forget to include an amount each month for emergencies. UK consolidation unsecured loans have the advantage of not being secured on your home, as is the case with secured consolidation loans. This means that if you default on your repayments you are not in immediate danger of losing your home through repossession. A work of caution though: lenders have been known to act aggressively in order to protect their investment and may take court proceedings if you fail to pay back the loan. Because the lending company is taking a greater risk with no security or collateral to back the loan, you will generally pay higher interest rates for these unsecured loans. The lender will levy an interest charge on UK consolidation unsecured loans and the amount you pay will depend on a number of factors. This will include the amount of the consolidation loan, the number of years you will need to pay it off and your personal circumstances and credit history. Lenders flexibly asses each case individually, rating their risk against your ability to repay the loan. Typical interest rates are advertised by lenders but these are only an indication of the rate you are likely to get and not a guaranteed rate. Lenders also refer to variable and fixed rates. Variable interest rates are linked to the bank base rate which means that your monthly repayments could go up and down with fluctuations in the bank base rate. This could be of benefit to you if the rate drops but you could also end up paying a lot more for your loan if it goes up. Fixed rate UK consolidation unsecured loans have an interest rate which is set with the loan agreement and this does not change throughout the term of the loan, regardless of what happens to the bank base rate.
