Merge your debt into one loan

  • Get debt free faster. Debt that never goes away gets you nowhere – that’s why we structure our personal loans so that you’re always working towards paying off your debt with fixed regular repayments.
  • Sort your debts out. If you have multiple hire purchases, credit cards, overdrafts and personal loans it can be hard to keep track of the payments, and can potentially cost you more than it needs to.
  • Reorganise – one fixed payment – less confusion. We can help reorganise your debts into one easier to manage loan.
  • We can help. Talk to one of our team who can help guide you through merging your debts into one loan, working out potential savings and creating a payment plan to suit your situation. We can help by ensuring that money is transferred to your other debts from your new loan too.
  • What you’ll need. The amounts you owe, what you pay regularly and the interest rate you pay. You can get this information from your loan documents or by asking your lender.
