Beware When consolidating debt

Always ask as many questions as possible, and if you can, get the advice of an independent person.

One of the pitfalls of debt consolidators is that they conceal Administration with debt consolidation.

If they put you under Administration it's a court order taken against you that for a certain period - minimum 5 years - you are not allowed to get any further credit anywhere.

They don't settle your debts!

These companies don't settle your debts, they simply make arrangements with the creditors to pay them off - unfortunately so much interest is charged that it's difficult to make a dent in the debt.

Make sure of your facts and always read everything before signing.

Want A 2nd or 3rd Bond? Be Careful!

If you are considering taking our a 2nd or 3rd bond to consolidate your debt, make sure you work with a professional home loans consultant.

There a quite a few pitfalls and traps one could walk into if you are not careful.

1) Debt Consolidation Pitfall 1 - Refinance

Many people wanting to consolidate debt want to take a 2nd bond, and unknowingly actually refinance. Now, that's not a bad thing if you are told upfront and you know what you're letting yourself in for, but if you didn't know, and now you start paying a bond all over at 20 years again, you'll be very angry.

Tip: If you don't want to refinance, tell your debt consolidation expert that you want the 2nd or 3rd bond to run along with the original bond.

2) Debt Consolidation Pitfall 2 - Fall Back into Debt

If you have taken a bond to pay off your debt, you already have an additional amount to pay. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that you now have all this credit available on those credit cards and that you can start spending again. If you do you'll have the same debt burged plus the additional payment of the 2nd bond.

Tip: If you have paid off your credit cards, cut up the cards and close the accounts. If you feel you absolutely must have one for emergencies or for your petrol expenditure, close all but one.


Remember, consolidating your debt into your bond is a good thing, if you take the wise route and avoid the pitfalls mentioned about.
