What debt can be included?


Debt consolidation can include unsecured debt like unsecured loans. Unsecured personal loans can include payday loans, credit card debt, medical expenses, and other unsecured debt. Most Americans have multiple debts including medical expenses, credit card debt, and student loans.


Unsecured loans are those that do not have an asset backing it. For instance, credit card debt is unsecured while a mortgage is a secured loan. While student loans are technically unsecured personal loans, they do not fall into the unsecured debt category that Pacific Debt can help with. However, one of our student loan partners may be able to help you.


You can even include failed debt consolidation loans by acquiring unsecured personal loans to pay off the debt.


Different Types of Debt Relief


There are four basic types of debt relief services available. Here is a breakdown of the four and their potential pros and cons.


Debt Consolidation


In debt consolidation, you roll all your high interest debts into one personal loan with a better interest rate. You then focus on paying off the personal loan. The main concern is finding a personal loan with a better interest rate. Since interest rates are based in part on your credit score, it may be difficult to find a loan with decent interest rates if you are in poor financial condition.


Debt consolidation loan rates must be lower than your existing debts in order for you to see any benefits. At present, personal loan rates range between 3% and 36%. The better your credit score the lower the interest rate you will be charged.


There are minimum credit score requirements of 600 or 620 to usually get the best interest rates. If you can not meet that minimum credit score requirement, you may want to focus on improving your credit score until you reach the minimum credit score requirement or even achieve excellent credit scores.


Taking out a personal loan requires several years of regular monthly payments and usually do not have flexible repayment options. There is usually not a prepayment penalty, but make sure to always read the fine print.


Personal loans for debt consolidation


If you are considering debt consolidation, you first need to decide how much you need to pay off. Choose the highest interest debt and add it all up. You now know how much you need to apply for and what interest rates to look for.


Look for personal loans from credit unions, online personal loan lenders, secured loans like a home equity loan, and online lenders like P2P groups. Keep in mind that these debt consolidation lenders will charge origination fees and these origination fees decrease the amount available to repay your debts.


The best debt consolidation loans have low interest rates and hopefully flexible loan terms. You will have to apply for a debt consolidation loan and that will temporarily affect your credit score. You may be able to find debt consolidation loan companies who specialize in debt consolidation loans.


Ask for a soft credit check while looking for loans. A soft credit check does not affect your credit score.


When you get the loan proceeds, use it immediately to make your debt payments.


Read this article if you'd like more information about getting debt consolidation loans, especially if you have bad credit.


Secured personal loans for debt consolidation


Taking out a secured loan to repay your debts is usually problematic. A secured loan has something guaranteeing you will repay the loan. This is commonly your house (home equity loan). Because the loan is secured, interest rates are lowered than unsecured personal loans. However, if you fail to repay this loan funding source, you may lose your home or other guarantee.


Only take out secured loans if you have a concrete plan to repay the debt.


Credit card balance transfer


Besides taking out a personal loan, you may be able to use credit card debt consolidation. In this method, you find zero balance transfer credit cards for consolidating credit card debt. You then can focus on making every monthly payment to pay off the zero balance transfer credit cards within the time limit. If you fail to pay off the consolidated debt within the time limit, the subsequent interest rates can be very high.


There is usually no prepayment penalty on balance transfer credit cards. Just always make your monthly payment on time.


Debt Settlement


Settlement involves negotiating with your creditor to lower interest rates and/or total debt amount and thereby save money. Once the debt is negotiated, the creditor is usually then paid off. This settlement technique can be used in conjunction with a low interest rate personal loan. At Pacific Debt Relief, you save money into a savings account with monthly payments. The negotiated debt is paid through this savings account and means that you do not have to qualify for a personal loan and there are no origination fees.


This does not require a minimum credit score, but does require a minimum annual income that allows you to make a fixed monthly payment to your savings account.


Settlement does come with some potential tax liability and credit score decreases. Always understand what may happen.

Credit Counseling


Credit counseling involves learning how to better manage your finances and budget. You may be asked to develop a debt management plan that will help you repay your bills. It can include settlement and debt consolidation. You will also learn how to build a good credit score and credit report.


Credit counseling is best for people who are just beginning to get into debt. However, even if you choose settlement or debt consolidation, credit counseling can help you stay out of debt in the future.


Bankruptcy


Bankruptcy is the last option to consider. Beside being expensive and time consuming, bankruptcy will damage your credit and carries a lot of social stigma.

FAQS

  • How do I find a reputable debt consolidation company?

    Look for accreditation, how long the debt consolidation company has been in business, and reviews from real clients. The American Fair Credit Council is one such important accreditation.

  • Can you get a debt consolidation loan without collateral?

    Yes, qualified borrowers can usually get debt consolidation loans without providing collateral.

  • Does debt consolidation give you bad credit?

    Applying for a personal loan will temporarily decrease your credit score. However, paying off outstanding debts, especially if you are behind on monthly payments, will help to improve your credit score. 


    Paying down credit card debt will also help your credit score. If you fail to repay the debt consolidation loan, your credit will be damaged. For more information on credit scores and how to build excellent credit, follow this link.

  • Is BBB accreditation legit?

    Many people find value in a BBB accreditation. The company must apply and then have their internal and public records examined by the BBB. The BBB also tracks the number of complaints and whether the complaint is settled.

  • Is consolidating debt a good idea?

    If you can get a personal loan with a decent interest rate and you have a solid plan to repay the debt consolidation loan, yes, it is a good idea. 


    In order to get a low-interest rate loan, you will need a minimum credit score of 620 and an excellent credit score will decrease interest rates even more. 


    However, if you do not, it can become another source of debt stress. Keep in mind that debt consolidation loans come with origination fees that decrease the amount available to use to consolidate debt.

  • Does debt consolidation affect your credit score?

    As long as you repay the loan and then continue to pay your bills on time, there could be a very little negative effect on your credit score. 


    In fact, by paying your bills on time, you can work on an excellent credit score.

  • What is the best debt management company?

    Call Pacific Debt today for a free consultation. We'll help explain to you all your options so you can fully understand them.

  • Who should consider a debt consolidation loan?

    If you can get a low-interest rate loan thanks to an excellent credit score and make the monthly payments on your debt consolidation loan, you may be a good candidate. 


    Look for a debt consolidation loan with no prepayment penalty and possibly flexible repayment options. Always make your monthly payments on time and use your debt consolidation loan for your debt payments.

  • Do debt consolidation loans give you money?

    The entire goal for a debt consolidation loan is to repay your existing debt. So, yes, you do get money, but the loan proceeds have a dedicated purpose. 


    If you blow the money elsewhere, you now have the existing debt and the debt consolidation loan to repay.

  • What is the easiest way to consolidate debt?

    One of the easiest ways is to find a low-interest rate personal loan using an excellent credit score and use the loan proceeds to repay your debts.

  • Why do you get a better interest rate with good credit?

    Basically, your credit report and credit history are measures of how well you repay your debts. If you have not been able to maintain a good credit score, you will be considered less responsible with credit. 


    By improving your bad credit score, your credit history will improve and your interest rates will drop.

  • What goes into a credit report?

    A credit report is a list of all your debts within a 7 to 10-year time period and how well you have done repaying your debts. 


    The credit score is generated based on a formula applied to your history of debt payments. The credit score weights timely monthly payments most heavily.


    It then looks at your debt to income ratio and debt to credit ratio. These compare how much debt you have compared to your income and how much of your revolving debt (credit card balances) you are using. 


    The lower your debt to income ratio, the better you are at managing your money. The last three include multiple debts in a variety of forms - revolving, car, mortgage, etc, the age of your debt - the older the better, and how many times you have applied for new credit.

  • How do I fix my credit score?

    In order to fix your credit score, you really need to make all monthly payments on time and in full.


    Improve your debt to income ratio by paying down credit card balances. Don't apply for new credit or take out credit cards at big box store checkouts. 


    Check your credit history for incorrect information and ask to have any errors corrected.

  • What are the best debt consolidation loans?

    The best debt consolidation loans are those that offer qualified borrowers a lower interest rate than their current debt interest rates, an affordable monthly payment, and a low origination fee. 


    Check with credit unions for more flexible lending terms. Shop around for the best personal loans available. If you have a bank account, you may be able to get better rates.
