Debt management loans

Thursday, 26 July 2007 11:22

A debt management loan is a loan designed to help bring together existing borrowing to reduce your monthly payments.

By bringing credit cards, overdrafts, and existing personal loans together in one place can both simplify repayments and potentially save hundreds or thousands of pounds in interest payments.

However, someone taking out a debt management loan should make sure they shop around to find the most competitive rate of interest available to them otherwise they could end up actually increasing the amount of interest they pay.

More people apply for debt management loans in January than in any other month, as Christmas and New Year's Eve celebrations take their toll on bank accounts, according to data from Sainsbury's Bank.
