Debt consolidation replaces multiple high annual percentage rate (APR) balances with one fixed-APR personal loan. Before applying, knowing exactly what is owed, verifying that it actually saves money, checking your credit score, gathering documents, and checking your rate to see the actual APR before committing are important steps. This guide walks through each step in order.
Debt consolidation combines multiple high-APR debts into a single payment—ideally at a lower APR, with a defined end date. It can help save money and simplify your finances, but whether it makes sense depends on your credit profile, the APR you can qualify for, and your ability to avoid new debt after consolidation.
Applying for a personal loan may affects your credit score differently at each stage of the process: from the initial rate check through to full repayment. A personal loan can affect a credit score positively or negatively over time, depending upon several factors.
When you consider taking out a personal loan, there are two ways in which your rate can be structured. The choice affects not just your monthly payment, but the total cost of borrowing over the full term, particularly if your loan runs several years.
When people worry about debt consolidation hurting their credit, they’re usually thinking about how a loan application affects their credit score. What may negatively affect a credit score is a missed payment, a closed account that shortens your credit history, or new spending on the cards you just paid off.
