How Debt Consolidation Works

Debt consolidation replaces multiple debts with a single loan β€” usually at a lower interest rate. Instead of juggling credit cards at 20%, BNPL fees, and personal loans, you make one repayment each month.

3 Simple Steps

1

We Add Up Your Debts

Credit cards, BNPL, personal loans, car loans β€” we list everything and calculate what you're currently paying.

2

We Find a Lower Rate

We compare 6+ specialist lenders to find a consolidation loan at a much lower rate than your current average.

One Loan Replaces Them All

Debt Consolidation FAQs

How much can I save with consolidation?

It depends on your current rates and total debt. Most people save $100-$800/month. Use the calculator above to see your specific savings. Credit cards at 20%+ consolidated to 8-12% can halve your repayments.

Will consolidation affect my credit score?

Short term: a new application creates an enquiry. Long term: having one manageable repayment instead of multiple debts actually improves your score β€” especially if you're currently struggling with repayments.

Can I consolidate with defaults on my file?

Yes. Specialist lenders consider people with defaults, low credit scores, and adverse credit history. Rates will be higher than mainstream but typically much lower than credit card rates. We compare 6+ lenders who work with impaired credit.

How fast can I get approved?

Many personal loan lenders offer same-day or next-day approval for consolidation loans under $50K. Larger amounts secured against property may take 1-2 weeks. We'll tell you the expected timeline upfront.

Is there a minimum or maximum amount?

Most lenders start from $2,000 for unsecured consolidation up to $65,000. For larger amounts, secured consolidation against property equity can go much higher. We'll match you to the right product for your debt level.

Debt Consolidation FAQs

How does debt consolidation actually work?

We take your existing debts and find a single new loan at a lower interest rate. The new lender pays off all your old debts directly, leaving you with one repayment. Most people save hundreds per month because consolidation rates (8-12%) are much lower than credit card rates (20%+).

Is debt consolidation right for everyone?

Not always. If your debts are small (under $2K) or nearly paid off, it may not be worth the application. But if you have multiple debts at high interest rates and are struggling with repayments, consolidation almost always saves money. We will give you an honest assessment.

What documents do I need to apply?

Typically you need: photo ID, 2 recent payslips (or tax returns if self-employed), 90-day bank statements, and a list of your current debts. Some lenders can approve with less documentation. We will tell you exactly what is needed for your situation.

How quickly can I get approved for consolidation?

Many lenders offer same-day or next-day approval for consolidation loans under $50K. For larger secured amounts, expect 1-2 weeks. We will tell you the expected timeline upfront.

What if my credit score is very low?

Specialist lenders work with credit scores as low as 480. Even with defaults on file, there are options. The rate will be higher than mainstream, but consolidating at 12% is still much better than credit cards at 22%. After 12 months of on-time repayments, you can often refinance to a lower rate.

Can I still use my credit cards after consolidating?

Technically yes, but we recommend closing or reducing limits on old credit cards after consolidation. The whole point is to simplify your finances. Keeping old credit available creates temptation to re-accumulate debt. Many people find it helpful to keep one card for emergencies with a low limit.

Will I end up paying more in total?

Not if you choose the right term. A shorter term (2-3 years) at a lower rate almost always costs less in total than keeping multiple high-interest debts. We will show you the total cost comparison before you commit so you can make an informed decision.

Which lenders do you compare for consolidation?

We compare 6+ specialist personal loan and consolidation lenders including MoneyMe, Wisr, Pepper Money, Latitude, SocietyOne, and Harmoney. Each has different approval criteria, rates, and loan amounts. We match you to the one that fits your situation best.
