Making your life easier through debt consolidation is the surest and easiest way to become debt-free faster. Combining multiple accounts into a single account simplifies management and saves both time and money – and for many New Zealanders, that peace of mind is as valuable as the financing savings. 
What Debt Consolidation Actually Means
Debt Consolidation is the process of combining previous debts with many lenders into a single loan. Instead of juggling several payments at different intereset rates, you make one regular payment at one rate.
This can help you:
- Secure better credit by using a single, reputable lender.
- Negotiate repayment terms and interest rates more flexibly.
- Avoid missed payments that damage your credit history.
- Reduce the total interest paid over time.
When handled well, debt consolidation doesn’t only tidy up your finances – it can put you on a faster path to financial stability.
What Debts Can Be Consolidated?
The first question people ask is, what loans and debts can I combine? Although the answer varies depending on the lender, most Financial Advisers can help consolidate:
- Credit cards.
- Debts on store credit cards.
- Hire purchase loans.
- Personal loans from finance companies and banks.
- Student loans.
- Tax arrears.
- IRD payments.
Some lenders also allow consolidation of medical bills or payday loans – all you need to do is ask.
The Benefits of Consolidating Debt
If you’re suffocating in high-interest loans and credit card repayments, debt consolidation could be the answer to reaching your financial independence.
With competitive interest rates and a single payment system you can keep up with, consolidation is easily the best solution for your financial woes. Attaining a single loan doesn’t just improve your credit score, it will effectively:
- Provide you with a lower interest rate that is spread over a more achievable length of time.
- Make budgeting easier with only one payment to manage.
- Provide you with lower monthly payments.
- Allow for possible tax deductions.
- For homeowners, the chance to use equity to lower your interest rates further.
