Types of Dept Consolidation Loans

Personal Loans
A personal loan is one debt consolidation option. If have maintained a good relationship with your creditors and your credit score is reasonable then this could be a good option for you. Your current bank or lending institution is the best place to start when searching out this option. If you have done business with them for a while they will want to keep you as a customer. You are also far more likely to get a favorable rate of interest from your current bank which can save you money in the long run.

Home Equity Loans
Home equity loans are another method of consolidating your debts. If your credit is less than perfect but you are a homeowner then chances are still reasonable that you will qualify. Basically you borrow money against the value of your home. You can spread the payments over the term of your mortgage and will receive a favorable rate of interest because the loan is secured. Home equity loans offer reduced payments but you do put your home at risk if you fall behind on payments.

Cash out Refinancing
Cash out refinancing involves refinancing your home for more than it is worth and using the money to pay off your creditors. Cash out refinancing offers very favorable rates of interest and low repayment amounts.

Refinancing Your Car
Your car loan is secured and can be used as a method of consolidating debt. You can borrow against your car, but be careful. It is possible that your car will die out before the loan is paid off. This isn't a common method of paying off debt and it works best with smaller amounts of money.
