admin — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:42:48 +0000

So your fears have been confirmed. After reviewing your loan agreement and asking a lot of questions, you’ve discovered that you’ve been mis-sold. Your lender sold you a payment protection insurance (PPI) policy in a manner that was unethical. You have something that you are paying for that is of no benefit to you whatsoever. So now what?

Lenders have come under fire over the last few years over the manner in which PPI policies were sold to consumers. There is nothing inherently wrong with these policies; the design and intent of them was always to benefit the consumer. The trouble came in when lenders started using unscrupulous tactics to sell the policies. People had policies added to their loans without their knowledge; premiums were simply rolled into the cost of the loan. Others were coerced into buying policies, being told that their loan acceptance depended on it. Still others were sold policies even though conditions in their lives made them ineligible to ever collect. The list goes on.

If you were one of these people, there is help available to you. Simply visit ppiclaims.org.uk for information on how to get started on the road to reclaiming your lost premiums – plus interest. They can help you get back what is owed to you.

Should I apply for a debt consolidation loan?

admin — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 09:46:53 +0000

Debt consolidation can make managing your finances simpler, by placing all your unsecured debt in one place. With a debt consolidation loan, you could make one monthly repayment, rather than many. You could even make your repayments more affordable by spreading them over a longer period.

Before you apply for a debt consolidation loan, you should consider whether it’s right for your situation at the moment. We’ll tell you about some of the times it wouldn’t be right to apply.

If it is a good approach for you to consider, you could apply for a debt consolidation loan at debtadvicenow.co.uk.

Debt consolidation loan hints and tips:

If you apply for a debt consolidation loan, lenders will want to see a regular income. If you don’t have a regular income, you could struggle to make the repayments.
If the amount you want to borrow would probably make your monthly repayments too expensive for your budget, you are likely to be turned down by lenders.
If you are really struggling to repay your unsecured debt, a debt consolidation loan isn’t right for you, but you may be able to consolidate your debts into one payment per month through an IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) or debt management plan instead.
If you know you will have a drop in income in the near future – perhaps because of retirement, or maternity leave – it may not be the right time to consolidate your debts.
The loan would take longer to repay if you paid less per month. That makes a debt consolidation loan potentially more expensive overall, due to interest.
Try to find a debt consolidation loan with a lower APR (Annual Percentage Rate) than your current unsecured debts have, so you reduce the rate at which your debt is growing. The rate of interest you get can depend on the amount you borrow and your credit history.

Many people choose a debt consolidation loan to help them manage their money better. While we have given some examples of when not to apply, as long as you have a regular income and can comfortably afford to keep up with the repayments, you may still be able to apply and enjoy the benefits. The link above will tell you more about debt consolidation and how to apply.
