Consolidation

Part of Debt Solutions

Debt consolidation combines existing balances into one borrowing arrangement. It can simplify payments, but savings depend on the new rate, fees and repayment period. List each debt and compare total repayment before accepting an offer. Consolidation restructures debt, it does not erase it.

Costs to compare

Compare full repayment, not only the monthly amount. A longer term can cost more overall even if each payment is smaller.

Risks and restrictions

A higher rate or new spending on cleared accounts can leave you owing more. Check collateral requirements and whether payments fit a realistic budget.

Common questions

Does a lower payment guarantee savings?

No. Extending repayment can increase total interest.

What to check before choosing consolidation

Repayment outcome

Compare the full amount owed, interest, fees and expected timeline.

Credit and legal effects

Ask how each option affects credit reporting, assets and creditors.

Qualified help

Check credentials and understand whether you are speaking to a lender, counsellor or licensed insolvency trustee.

Consumer proposals and bankruptcies require a licensed insolvency trustee. Seek qualified advice before deciding.
