mrbearpro - 2007-08-04 13:33:04 - Credit

I would like to get a debt consolidation loan for my outstanding debt from closed credit cards, old utility bills, etc I have student loans, but I would like to consolidate them separatley and not through another loan. Also, I have an auto loan, would the loan be able to cover that as well? Please, real answers, and no opinions/judgements. Thank You.

Best Answer:

You probably could however the interest rate may be high. I would start with your own bank as they know you the best. I work as a customer service agent with GMAC where I deal with people asking about refinancing all the time and I refer them to their own bank or credit union. They might be able to work out a deal because you have a "professional/personal" relationship with them.

Practically any type of loan can be wrapped into the debt consolidation process. Common types include finance charges, late fees and overdraft charges, credit cards, personal loans, utility bills, medical bills, car loans, store cards, gas cards and back taxes. A debt consolidation loan<!--allows you to condense your monthly payments into a single, simple bill, while lowering your interest rates and helping you pay down your debts more quickly and easily. It is also an essential tool in avoiding the much more serious step of declaring bankruptcy. http://badcredits.awardspace.com/Loan-Consolidation.htm Unlike bankruptcy, in which debts are cancelled and your credit rating collapses completely, debt consolidation loans are essentially a type of refinancing, where several-->old loans are replaced with a new one that has more favorable terms. Your loan consultant will negotiate with creditors on your behalf, so you’ll no longer have to deal with harassing phone calls and daily mail.
