Consolidating all your debt into one monthly bill may seem
like a great way to take control of your debt, but at Freedom First Financial we urge you to be very careful. There is a very high chance
that you could end up in even deeper debt!
Like many things in life, Debt Consolidation Loans have a
catch. At Freedom First Financial we have found many clients who have
ended up with a larger debt due to the high APR's (Adjusted
Periodic Rate) of Debt Consolidation Loans. If you have
found yourself in a similar situation, do not worry; we
have helped hundreds of people just like you.
Here are a couple things to take note of if you are thinking
of a Debt Consolidation Loan. When a lender loans money to
pay off all your credit cards and other debt, you have one
monthly bill which is paid to the lender. Often these loans
do not have a lower APR, and can be as high as APR's of 24%.
Even if you do get a decent APR, you are still in debt. The
big mistake which we have seen at Freedom First Financial is people giving
up unsecured debt for secured debt. Most Debt Consolidation
Loans are given in the form of home equity loans; which means
if you do not pay you could lose your home. At Freedom First Financial we
understand that Debt can be a stressful time for many people.
Do you really need to add the stress of possibly losing your
home with unsecured debt?
