1. Lower Repayments
When there are several repayments coming out of your fortnightly salary it is easy to get to lose track of when and how much the amount will be. With a consolidation loan you will be in control of the amount. The one loan, one repayment will be an amount that is both affordable and on a date of your choosing. This will see a reduction in the total amount of repayments that you have currently.

2. Lower Interest Rates
There are a lot of debts and loans that have high interest rates but Comhar Linn INTO Credit Union offer a very competitive rate in comparison. With the consolidation loan there will be a lesser amount paid towards the interest therefore the contribution going towards the loan amount will be higher.

3. Improve your Credit Score
Speaking of credit scores, another benefit of debt consolidation is that it can give your score a nice boost. If you consolidate by taking out a personal loan, it’s likely that you will see an increase in your score in only a few months.

4. Pay it Off Faster
It’s not uncommon for credit card balances to have years to go before being fully paid off. After all, credit cards are earning interest on what you owe, so lenders don’t care if it takes you 5 years to pay off your debt or 20. A benefit of debt consolidation is that the consolidation process takes multiple factors into consideration when establishing the length of the loan, such as income, credit score, and how much you owe in order to come up with a sensible payback plan. For this very reason, debt consolidation loans have a shorter payback period.
