Debt Consolidation Without Personal Loans

In order to understand our options for debt consolidation without personal loans, we must first understand what is meant by personal loans. Therefore we start with a few details on personal loans, then discuss debt consolidation options and conclude with some pointers on debt consolidation.

Understanding Personal Loans
It is important to take a moment and understand what is meant by a personal loan, because they are often confused with signature or unsecured loans. Personal loans, as with most loans, come in two types.
They can be secured loans meaning that there is collateral such as a house or car provided as security or unsecured meaning they are based on your signature and your word that you will pay it back. Therefore a signature loan is a personal loan but a personal loan can be many other things beside a signature loan. This is important because signature loans often come with high interest rates and can be harder to get due to the lack of collateral provided for the lender. Ok, now that we have an understanding that personal loans are most none business loans, then on to the topic of debt consolidation without personal loans.

Debt Consolidation Without Personal Loans
Ok, so what options do we have for debt consolidation and more importantly for this article, what options do we have for debt consolidation without personal loans? Being that we are trying to avoid personal loans, we have a few options.

  • Student loan consolidation is a very good option if you have not done it already.
  • We can negotiate better rates with our existing debt holders. This works fairly well with credit cards, but not necessarily with all debt holders. Particularly does not work well with Payday loans.
  • We can look at credit card transfer options. Try and consolidate to lower interest cards that we can pay off before the rates go up.
  • Home equity loans are also a source of consolidation funds, however this is really a personal loan so does not count. Also many people are against using secured debt to pay off unsecured debt so be careful with this option.
  • Another option is not really a pleasant option, but sometimes the situation warrants it. We can declare bankruptcy.
  • A few pointers to leave you with. Be careful with debt consolidation loans of any type. If you do not address the situation that caused the need for the debt consolidation loan then there is a good chance you will run up additional debt and your consolidation options will be limited if available at all. I strongly recommend creating a budget to manage your income and debt.
