How much can I borrow for debt consolidation?

The amount you can borrow depends on how much you need to consolidate your debts and what you can comfortably repay based on your income and expenses. Lenders will review your financial situation to determine affordability.

What are the interest rates?

Interest rates vary depending on your credit profile, financial situation, and the type of debts you’re consolidating. A better credit history may result in lower rates.

Current fixed interest rates range from 7.95% p.a. to a maximum of 29.95% p.a. on a minimum 12 month to a maximum 60-month loan term. The actual interest rate charged to you will depend on your circumstances, the type of lending required, the security provided, and the lender.

How long are debt consolidation loan terms?

Loan terms for debt consolidation typically range from one to five years, depending on how much debt you’re consolidating and what you can afford to repay each month.

Do debt consolidation loans hurt your credit?

Debt consolidation loans can impact your credit score temporarily, as applying for a loan usually involves a credit check. However, consolidating debt and making consistent repayments can improve your credit score over time by reducing missed payments and showing good repayment behaviour.

What is the disadvantage of a debt consolidation loan?

While debt consolidation simplifies repayments, it may come with fees and, in some cases, higher overall costs if the loan term is extended. Additionally, if you continue to use credit cards or take on more debt, you might not see the full benefit of consolidation.

Who qualifies for a debt consolidation loan?

Eligibility depends on factors like your income, credit history, and the amount of debt you want to consolidate. Lenders will assess your ability to repay the loan comfortably. If you’re unsure, Loan Spot advisers can help you understand your options.

How hard is it to get a debt consolidation loan?

Getting a debt consolidation loan depends on your financial situation. If you have a steady income and manageable credit history, approval is often straightforward. However, each lender has its own criteria, and expert advice can make the process easier. That’s what we are here for!
