Sometimes debts can get out of control and debt consolidation is the only solution. Obtaining a home loan or home equity loan enables a customer to use the equity in their current property to provide backing for further borrowings.
Our network of lender accreditations means a choice of over 25 lenders with the best rates available on the market.
Quite often people come to us thinking that there is no way a bank would approve their loan. There are many occasions when this is not the case and we can get people into a bank loan. Even if you have a default or judgment on your credit file there are opportunities to obtain approval at the best rates in the market.
Your credit rating can be improved by organising debt consolidation, so car loans, credit card debts or personal loans are incorporated as one loan and one repayment. Metro Loans endeavour to offer solutions for customers who have found it difficult accessing a debt consolidation loan, home loans or car loan through a bank.
Debt consolidation is a recommended way of reducing the total repayments needed for car loans, personal loans and credit cards, which may have escalating interest rates and late fees. Bad credit ratings are usually caused by customers paying high interest rates on outstanding balances for a number of loans.
In addition to the difficulty in managing a large number of debts, once a loan or credit card falls into arrears there is penalty interest and late fees, which add to the debt burden.
And if you are paying debts by direct debit and a payment dishonours, then you get charged via your bank account and your loan.
Have a look at the following example of a couple we helped with a debt consolidation loan:
