What is a Personal Loan?
A personal loan is a smaller and shorter loan than a mortgage and is generally used to finance a car or other vehicle, renovations to a home, consolidation of debt, to finance a vacation of one kind or another, and a significant number of other things. Instead of being for ten, twenty, perhaps thirty years, a personal loan is usually for between one and five years.
It can be used to consolidate several other loans into one which will allow you to make one payment instead of many. This type of loan is also called a debt consolidation loan.
When applying for a personal loan, you need to be careful and to be fully informed. Make sure:
- You fully understand what you are doing
- The solution you choose will be of real benefit to you and not just a short term fix
- You have achieved control over your debts
- The personal loan will mean reduced repayments and not increased
- You know the consequences of the steps you are taking
- There are no hidden costs
- You are better off as a result of the solution you have chosen
