DebtMap Services
A debt consolidation loan is used to pay off several unsecured debts, leaving clients with only the loan repayment per month instead of many smaller payments towards different providers.
Unsecured debt includes short-term forms of debt such as credit cards, clothing accounts, and personal loans. Consolidating debt into one single loan allowing clients to now only have one payment per month that is more affordable and easier to manage.
You are in control of your finances
Clients can still take out other types of credit, such as a loan or clothing account, although it is not advised. Debt consolidation is different from debt counselling because clients do not need to be over-indebted to apply for a debt consolidation loan. Clients still pay the same amount towards their debt; the loan allows them to have one monthly repayment instead of many.
Benefits of a consolidation loan
- Reduced interest- Clients might be paying towards several high-interest forms of debt. By consolidating debt, they only pay towards one interest rate on one loan.
- Faster payment- A consolidation loan has a set term and repayment schedule. Clients are now able to manage their repayments easier, leaving less room for missing a repayment.
- Healthy credit score- Clients can now start rebuilding their credit score by taking care of their debt.

Missing a payment has significant penalties
Although a debt consolidation loan makes repayments easier, missing a repayment on a loan comes with great penalties. Clients who are not sure if they will be able to make the repayments should consider seeing a debt counsellor.
Extra fees might be charged
There are some fees involved for making alterations to current payment plans. Clients are also charged for late-payments and payment defaults.
Loans have high interest rates
Because the loan is a more significant amount, clients will possibly pay more towards interest than before. A loan, in general, has a higher interest rate than credit cards and clothing accounts. Some clients might save interest because they were already paying a lot towards interest on unsecured forms of debt.
No legal protection provided
Unlike debt review, clients don't have legal protection when missing a repayment. They are still in control of making payments at the right time because DebtMap doesn't take over power of attorney.
A debt consolidation loan is a long-term commitment. Clients need to make sure that they can prove that they can repay the loan over a long period.
Who can apply for a consolidation loan?
Anyone who can prove that they have enough income to cover the loan can apply for debt consolidation. DebtMap does require clients to have a minimum credit score to apply. It has the exact requirements as a personal loan but is only used to cover current debt and not to make more debt.
