If you want to get help with debt, debt consolidation is a good option if:
• You have self control to treat debt consolidation as a final debt solution
• You have sought debt help and been advised to consider debt consolidation
• You get help with debt and treat the debt consolidation loan seriously
• You take advantage in the reduction in outgoings, and get help with all debt

Debt consolidation disadvantages
• If you contact a debt management company to get help with debt and they don´t recommend a debt consolidation loan, then don´t apply for one
• If you can´t make the repayments then don´t sign for a debt consolidation loan or you could lose your house
• Get help with debt from a professional company who may advise a debt management plan or an IVA instead of a debt consolidation loan
• Get help with debt before signing anything to do with a debt consolidation loan, and always read the small print
• You can get help with debt by means of a debt management plan which would not result in you losing your home if you fail to make the repayments – a debt consolidation loan is a secured loan which means you could face repossession if you don´t pay up.
• A debt consolidation loan always has high interest rates, so look for cheaper options before signing on the dotted line.
