Do I qualify for debt consolidation?

The good news is, unlike many debt solutions out there, you only need to qualify on a few points before being eligible for a consolidation loan. If you want an unsecured loan, you should ideally fulfil the following criteria:

  • You have a sustainable source of income to make the loan repayments;
  • After deductions, you can afford to make the loan repayments;
  • You’re a UK resident;
  • You have a reasonable credit rating.

What about secured debt consolidation?

The qualifying criteria is slightly different for secured debt consolidation. For one thing, a reasonable credit rating may not be required. However, to be eligible for this, you need a valuable asset to use as collateral, such as your home or car.
