Real-life debt consolidation

Australian debt consolidation success story

Callum and Sally were juggling 17 different debts, including private loans from family, alongside their home and personal loans. Their monthly repayments totalled $5,841, leaving them financially stretched and stressed.

What changed after they consolidated their debts:

  • Debts consolidated into one simple repayment
  • Monthly repayment reduced by nearly 30%
  • Saved $1,741 every month
  • Family debts repaid
  • Extra $33,000 freed up for home renovations.

At MyBudget, debt consolidation isn’t just about getting out of debt, it’s about helping families reach their money goals.

Debt Consolidation FAQs

What is debt consolidation?

Debt consolidation combines multiple existing debts into a single new loan. The aim is to reduce your repayments by paying out your existing debts and rolling their balances into a single, larger loan with an interest rate and repayment that is lower than the sum of the previous, separate loans.

Who is debt consolidation for?

It’s ideal for those with multiple high-interest debts, like credit cards or personal loans.

Will consolidating debt affect my credit score?

It can have a positive impact if you make regular payments, but missed payments could hurt your credit.

What types of debt can be consolidated?

Personal loans, credit cards, and other unsecured debts.

Pros & cons of debt consolidation

Pros

Debt consolidation simplifies your finances by combining multiple debts into a single loan, which often results in lower interest rates and monthly payments, helping to reduce financial stress.

Cons

While debt consolidation can reduce immediate payments, it may extend the loan term, leading to more interest over time. There can also be upfront fees, and it requires disciplined financial management to avoid accumulating new debt.

What debt services and solutions does MyBudget offer?

For those needing help with debt relief, we can look to see if we can speak with your creditors, negotiate payments and develop a tailored debt strategy. This may include debt consolidation, mortgage refinancing, a Part IX Debt Agreement, bankruptcy or affordably paying your way out of debt.

Does MyBudget provide financial advice?

MyBudget is a budgeting, debt solutions, and money management service. We provide a range of structure and support services associated with managing your personal expenses. While we do hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) and Australian Credit Licence (ACL), we are not financial advisors and offer general financial advice only. For personal financial advice or financial product recommendations, we recommend you seek the services of a licensed financial advisor.

What if my expenses are higher than my income?

This is a very common scenario. We may negotiate with your creditors to obtain the lowest monthly payment obligation that fits within your personal or household budget. We also offer suggestions on how you can tailor your expenses to reflect your income.

What if I get an unexpected bill?

If an emergency or unexpected expense should arise, all you need to do is contact MyBudget. We’ll work with you to find a solution. Ideally, unexpected expenses can be covered with savings set up for this purpose, and we’ll assist you to develop that buffer. Alternatively, we can look to see if we can rework and adjust your budget to accommodate payment of the bill. We’re here to help.
