Disadvantages of a Debt Consolidation Loan 

If you think that a UK debt consolidation loan is for you, it is important that you are aware of any advantages and disadvantages of your new loan.

Here are some of the Disadvantages of a UK Debt Consolidation Loan

  • A Debt Consolidation Loan is secured against your property, so you need to be sure that you can meet repayments.
  • It will take you a longer period to pay off your debt.
  • Risk of getting into more debt if you continue to spend on the debt, such as credit cards and store cards, that you cleared.

LOANS MAY BE SECURED ON YOUR HOME. THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE SECURING DEBTS AGAINST YOUR HOME. YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE OR OTHER DEBTS SECURED ON IT. IF YOU ARE THINKING OF CONSOLIDATING EXISTING BORROWING YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT YOU MAY BE EXTENDING THE TERMS OF THE DEBT AND INCREASING THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU REPAY.

For mortgages and re-mortgages the overall cost for comparison is 8.5% APR variable and for secured loans 14.5% APR variable. The actual rate will depend upon your circumstances. Ask for a personalised illustration. A broker fee may be payable on completion, and will depend on your circumstances. For mortgages and re-mortgages this fee is typically between 0% and 3% of the gross mortgage amount, subject to a minimum of £2,495 and a maximum of £3,995. For secured loans, the fee is typically between 0% and 10% of the loan value.
