How Does the Debt Consolidation Process Work?

Debt consolidation is just transferring your debts into a lower interest loan.

This lets you reduce your debt faster, raise your credit rating, and consolidate again. All without increasing your monthly payments.

  1. We give you a loan that is the size of your non-mortage debts, but has a lower interest rate.
  2. You pay off your other debts and are left with a single, low-interest loan. More of your monthly payments now go towards paying down your balance, which reduces your debt faster.
  3. This raises your credit rating.
  4. A higher credit rating and less debt lets us place you with an even better loan.

How is this possible? Simple. We are willing to lend you money at lower interest rates than your credit card company. That's it.

How Much Can I Save?

This will depend on how much debt you currently have, how much you are currently paying, and what interest rates you are currently being charged.

To find out how much YOU can save, check out our debt consolidation calculator.

What Will My Payments Be?

  • If you are currently being charged 19% on your credit cards and making minimum payments of 2%, almost 4 out of every 5 dollars you pay is going to interest.
  • If you consolidated that debt and made the same monthly payment, only 2 dollars out of every five would go towards interest. (see image below)

Debt Consolidation Savings Over Time

This savings on interest payments accumulates over time. If you have $40,000 in credit card debt and you are making minimum payments of 2%, you will save $21,500-$27,500 in interest payments over 5 years. (see chart below)

What If I Am Paying More Than Just the Minimum?

Great! But you can still save money by consolidating.

As an example, let’s say you are currently making a 4% payment ever month (more than your typical minimum payment). You will still save $1,000’s by consolidating your debt.

The graph below shows interest payments over 5 years by how much credit card debt you started with.

The bars show interest payments over 5 years on credit cards compared to a comparable debt consolidation loan and the marks show the difference (how much you can save by consolidating your debt).

It works out to about $4,000 less in interest payments for every $10,000 in credit card debt.

If you were only making minimum payments (2%), you would save almost $7,000 in interest payments for every $10,000 in starting credit card debt.

What Will My Payments Be?

Our loans are interest only, meaning that you are only required to pay the interest on your debt. However, we encourage you to continue to make the same payments that you were before, to help you get out of debt faster.

The chart below describes your average monthly payment in the first year by how much credit card debt you start with:

  • If you are making 4% payments every month (going beyond your minimum payment) and have $30,000 in credit card debt, you will pay about $1,050 per month on your credit card, most of which goes to paying off interest charges
  • If you consolidated that debt, your interest payments would be around $200 per month in the first year. This would be your minimum payment
  • However, you would have the option of paying about $850 towards your principal, without paying any more than you were with your credit cards.

How Do I Qualify?

The principal measure by which we qualify our clients is their loan-to-value (LTV).

This is simply the size of your mortgage divided by the value of your home. Click here for more information about LTV.

We don’t provide loans if the size of the loan plus your mortgage would exceed 75%-80% of the value of your home. If your mortgage is below this number, then this is what we call “available equity", which can be used to consolidate your debt.

What is the Process?

  1. It starts with a planning session with one or our experts. We ask you a few questions, assess your situation and find the right solution for you.
  2. We make sure that the process is fully explained and that you know exactly what you are getting into
  3. We verify all of the information you provide
  4. We transfer funds directly to your account
  5. You pay off your other debts and begin reducing your debt at a faster rate.

How Do I Know if It's Right for Me?

Every situation is unique, however, there are some good guidelines:

  • If you have $25,000+ in credit card debt and/or you are looking take money out for any other reason
  • If you own your own home and have a current LTV of less than 75%
