The thought of living without credit haunts me. We are depended on credit to such an extent that it has become more important than blood. The day is not far, I guess, when doctors would recommend credit to lead a healthy life. I guess you got the idea. What I need to emphasize on is the level of dependency on credit.

There is really no harm of availing credit until you are repaying it on time. The day you start missing payments, you start ruining your credit score. After a while, this credit becomes debt, and along with high interest on this debt, it mounts up into an un-payable amount. Its not the end of world though. There are various options available to you including debt consolidation loans, debt management companies, negotiation, and so on.

Let us, for a while, talk about debt consolidation loan. When you approach a consolidation company to get your finances right, they provide you a huge loan to repay all your debts. Thereon, you dont have to repay all your creditors individually. You just have to pay back a single loan, to debt consolidation company. So, instead of many, you pay just one bill every month.

Yep. It seems to be a good solution to all your debt problems. However, the debt consolidation loan can transform into a consolidation loan debt as well. Okay. I know its difficult to understand. Let me be clearer.

For most people, debt consolidation loan is probably the best way to repay their debts. Hence, they seek such service. However, the consolidation company doesnt know about what kind of person you are and what history you have. Hence, instead of blindly providing you with money, they ask for a security against it, which is usually your house. So, if you fail to repay their money, they have the authority to confiscate and sell your home to recover their loan amount.

To benefit from such service, you must be a bit responsible and make monthly payments on time. The interest rate of this loan is very low. Hence, repayment should not be an issue. There are, however, many people who dont have any control over their spending. Despite having such a huge loan, they squander excessively. They spend their money on unimportant things instead of repay debt consolidation loan, which would, very soon, become consolidation loan debt.

Repayment of this loan is very important as your house it at stake. If you dont repay the loan amount, the creditor, or the bank authority would confiscate your house and put it on auction to get their money back. It is possible they may not receive the entire amount. However, getting something than nothing is a better option. But for you, it would be a pitiful situation. Though you have repaid all your debts through this loan, you would have your house, the biggest property you have ever had.

It is, therefore, essential to mull over the consequences of not repaying debt consolidation loan before applying for one.
