Bad Credit Debt Consolidation Loan

by Mack Bartlett

One of the most overwhelming feelings in the world is to owe debt to multiple creditors and start to fall behind on the payments. At a certain point it’s nearly impossible for a person to keep their debts current. If you have several credit cards, a mortgage, a car payment, student loans, etc it can be really difficult to stay ahead of your bills – especially if you go through any periods of unemployment.  Just the credit cards will be nearly impossible to maintain if you miss a payment or two and your interest rates jump to 30%+. Soon your credit is damaged and you need to be looking seriously for a bad credit debt consolidation loan.

Debt consolidation loans for people with bad credit won’t necessarily improve your credit score, but they do put you on the path to recovery. After all, if you can’t wrangle your monthly payments you’ll never be able to repair your credit. Here’s how it works:

You begin working with a company that specializes in debt consolidation, and you basically turn all your debts over to them. They take the responsibility of going to your creditors and saying “Listen, this borrower is in way too deep, so you have a couple of options. You can either get nothing (because the borrower is going to file bankruptcy) or you can get a certain percentage of your money back from us. Then we’ll deal with the borrower.”

The lenders don’t want to lose everything, so they’ll usually agree to take a certain percentage of your balance and close the loan. After the debt consolidation company has settled with your creditors, they roll all the remaining balance into bad credit debt consolidation loans for you and their other clients. Instead of having multiple payments every month as well as interest rates all over the place, you end up with a single payment and a single interest rate. It’s a thousand times easier to manage. Although you’ll still have some stress related to your worsened credit score and the new loan you’ll be paying on for several years, at least it will all be in one place. Now the key is to never miss a payment.

There’s a lot of debate over debt consolidation loans with bad credit. Many people feel we’re not helping you out at all by bailing you out of your situation, but they need to acknowledge the reality that without these loans you’d walk away from 100% of your debt eventually, and if that happened on a large scale our credit system would break down in a hurry, so debt consolidation loans for people with bad credit are probably more important than we realize.
