Frequently Asked Questions
What is debt consolidation?
Debit consolidation is combining several payments into one manageable payment. It gives you back control, and can often lower the cost of your monthly outgoings.
How does debt consolidation benefit me?
As you have a single loan, you can often get a longer term which may reduce your monthly payments. If you are including a credit card in your debt consolidation, you may be paying a high-interest rate (>20%) on the credit card balance, and will probably get a much better rate with a debt consolidation loan.
How does a consolidation loan differ from a standard loan
With a consolidation loan, the loan is paid directly to the creditors. This is done to ensure a member doesn’t create unmanageable debt that spirals out of control. MABS is a great free service that offers impartial advice and plays an important role in helping people to deal with problem debt.
What is the maximum amount and term?
You can borrow up to €50,000, for terms of up to 5 years, subject to affordability criteria.
