Paying Off Debts With A Bad Credit Score–Repayment Plans Available For Bad ... Red, White, and Blue Press
Bad credit borrowers often seek out some form of assistance to help them make their debt repayments more affordable as a low credit score may have come from missed payments as a result of a consumer’s inability to meet minimum obligations on one or more debt. What this means is that there are consumers who will, for example, seek out a debt consolidation loan that is available to bad credit borrowers in the hopes of compiling their troublesome debt into one location and, ideally, getting a more affordable payment in terms of their month-to-month costs. Consumers should know that, in the majority of cases, a debt consolidation loan can cause the overall cost that a consumer pays to increase, but for bad credit borrowers, a consolidation loan may be even less helpful due to the fact that those with a bad credit score will obviously face the likelihood that their interest rate will be higher if a consolidation loan is offered at all.
Those who are aware of secured consolidation loans may realize that this is just one of the routes that a bad credit borrower may have, but depending on the severity of one’s situation, there are men and women who are also in a bad situation in terms of their credit score but may be reviewed by a particular lender and thanks to their income and the minimum requirements that may be associated with a consolidation loan, unsecured debt relief options could be available for some, but not necessarily all.

i'm looking for an unsecured loan of £15000 for debt consolidation with a fair to bad credit rating. reccomend
i'm looking for an unsecured loan of £15000 for debt consolidation with a fair to bad credit rating. it is to be taken out over a period of between 8 and 10 years. as many , if not all sites, give very little if not no information at all, i was wondering if anybody can reccomend a good loan company to call for a quote. i want to make sure i find a company that is not going to hike the %apr drastically over a period of time, few penaltys on over payments or early settlement, and any other benefits that can be reccomended by you. also if you have had a bad deal off a bd credit loan compay i would like to know about that and cross them off my list. any help at all would be much appreciated. thank you.
Go to Citizen's Advice before you get raped for every last penny you have.
I recommend the following site http://www.ccjhelp.co.uk/unsecured.htm
It offers advice for clients in your position. You can also apply online for a no obligation quote.
All you're going to do is to add to your debt. It feels like it has reduced because you pay less each month on your consolidation loan, but as you're paying it over a longer period you actually pay more.
If you see the small print on some of these tv ads, you'll notice that on a loan of £25k you end up paying back over £42k.
These companies are just taking you for a ride.
I would recommend that you get some proper debt advice - start with the CAB or see if your local area has a "settlement project" where you can get free help.
Also, some lenders look poorly upon it later on. Some institutions believe that it really is a black mark. It will depend upon the types of deals that your particular company or lender work out, and of course, your own individual circumstance. For some with absolutely NO way out, debt consolidation is a welcome option.
Take a good hard look at all the options and plans offered, and don't let a single company pressure you into something you just can't do. Make sure that you're comfortable with the plan offered before you commit to it.
In any case, it doesn't hurt to investigate debt consolidation as an option. It doesn't cost you anything to find out more information about it.
If you want a place to start your investigating, there's information and listings for debt consolidation providers on the page listed below. You'll probably find something of use there:

What effect does using one of these "debt consolidation" companies have on your credit rating?
Do they really help? Does your monthly payment really drop substantially? Did it work for you?
Jimbo,
I listen to a radio show every day (Dave Ramsey ...look it up, it's pretty interesting). He says that debt consolidation does some damage to your credit rating, they're not good plans and sometimes the mess up. He also notes that if you don't change your behavior, you're going to get back in debt. He has a process where you pay minimums on every debt you have and then pay everything you can on the smallest. Then once that's paid off, work on paying off the next.
This is part of a bigger (but very simple) plan he details for free.
This is a web site you can look into and have someone call you to discuss your options.

How does debt consolidation affect your credit score and rating?
are you talking about a debt consolidation loan or a debt consolidation program? I did a program and know that it did not affect my score at all--you can see this at http://www.myfico.com. there is a section titled--what's not in your score. I found it there that it doesnt affect it. Now, when you close out accounts, that has an impact--not bc of anything negative, but you are taking credit that is available and making it unavailable.
My program saved me though--and my score is so much better. I went with Debt Counseling Corporation--they helped me with my budget and helped me lower my interest rates, lower the payment i was making and it was so easy.
here is their website: http://www.debtcounselingcorp.org
let me know if they help!
In addition, I also paid 100% of my debts--not settled. They are not a settlement company at all. that is why my credit is a 741 right now
a consolidation loan.
is money borrowed from a lender secured or unsecured. The money from the lender will totally pay your credit cards off 100% Consolidating all of your credit balances. That is what a consolidation loan is.
Does not ding your credit.
Since I have been in the debt industry I hear people use the word consolidation in reference to:
consumer counseling or settlement. :
That is not true consolidation. What your really doing is consolidating the payment and not the balance
Dings your credit.
Which program are you asking about?
No matter what anyone tells you, anytime you do any less then pay your creditors 100% your credit will take a hit. For some it is worth it for others it is not.

Does it affect your credit rating to get a debt consolidation loan?
Yes because you are taking on new debt. Although if you make your payments on time for a few years your credit rating could be higher than when you started granted all other payments you owe you make on time.
Does anyone know whether a debt consolidation loan would affect my credit rating?
Your credit rating is a measurment of how safe of an investment you are. If you have a high Credit rating you are considered safe. If you have severall loans you are not necessarily considered to be an unsafe lendee. However if you miss payments or some of your loans are credit card based and near or at the credit limit you would be considered risky.
Money is money, and you would want to borrow money at the lowest interst rate possible. You need to look into the current interest rate you are paying and compare it to the consolidation interest rate.
When a person applies for a lot of creidt in a short amount of time their credit rating is affected adversely. Due to this if you are getting this consolidation loan near to another loan you received you could damage your credit rating slightly.
However, paying off high interest loans with the consolidation loan and then making your payments on time would do more good than bad.
Please explain to me what a debt consolidation is. Is is bad for your credit rating? Why doesn't everyone?
apply for it? Does it take a certain about of debt to qualify. Please give me the low down. I have excellent credit but just a large amount of debt. I may consider this as an option.
If you have numerous debts all at different rates, some rather high a debt consolidation loan can be a great idea. You may be able to get a lower rate and have only one payment. There are a couple of problems however. In light of the recent sub-prime mess the people who need them most are least likely to qualify for a consolidation loan at a decent rate. Another problem is lack of discipline. Many people who qualify for such a loan once they see their credit cards are paid off go back into their old bad habits and crank up the cards again and now have both the credit card debt and the new consolidation loan.
You say you have great credit but a large amount of debt. Your credit may not be as good as you think.
If you use credit card consolidation companies to help pay off debt, does this effect your credit rating?
I understand that no new credit lines can be open until debt is pain off using this service.
I echo what P S says above, read The Total Money Makeover by Ramsey.
Consolidation companies (most) look like a bankruptcy on your credit report. Also if you don't fix the problem (over spending) consolidation just leads majority of people to get right back into debt via credit cards or the such.
You can do it yourself, you just need a budget and a game plan. Read the above mentioned book and you will be on your way to being debt free!
How does it affect your credit rating if you go to one of those debt consolidation companies?
It shows on your rating, but if you make payments on time after consolidating, you will be slowly building your credit score back. A few articles that could help are:

What exactly happens to your credit if you do debt consolidation?
I have $7,000 in debt and I have heard about debt consolidation. Does this negatively affect your credit rating? Do you get to choose how much you pay monthly or is there a set amount they make you pay? I live in Canada, if that matters.
I went online to look up your question, and here's what I found....I hope that it helps you out....Best of luck to you!!
