Loans To Repay Credit Card Debts

What is The Best Loan To Pay Off Credit Cards?

If you are looking for a loan to cover credit card debt, you might be considering the following:

Debt Consolidation Loans – This is a type of loan which takes all your unsecured debt, such as credit cards, and puts it all into one single loan that you can repay each month, usually over 2 to 5 years, although some allow you to pay for up to 12 years.

Once you have been approved by the lender, they can pay off your credit cards on your behalf, or you can receive the money upfront and use it to pay off specific debts that you wish to prioritize.

As long as the APR and rates are a lower interest than what you are currently paying in fees, charges and penalties, it can make sense to consolidate all your credit cards this way.

Personal Loans – A debt consolidation is essentially a type of personal loan, because it is for you (not your business) and can be used for personal reasons and expenses. This loan is unsecured (there is no collateral) and once you receive the money upfront, you can use it to pay off all your credit card debts and any other existing debts such as student loans, home equity loans and online payday loans.

How Can I Get a Low Interest Loan To Pay Off My Credit Cards?

With APRs starting from 8%, there are low interest rates available to help you refinance and pay off your credit card debts. The best rates are usually available for people with good credit scores, such as higher than 740 or 800 and have a stable income, employment and are homeowners.

If you have fair or bad credit, this may lead to being charged higher rates, but in some cases, you can use collateral such as your home or property which can help you get access to low rates. However, it is important to note that your property could be at risk of foreclosure if you do not keep up repayments.

Can I Refinance Credit Card Debt Even With a Bad Credit Score?

Yes, loans to cover credit card debts are typically made for people with bad credit in mind. You will typically need a minimum credit score of around 560 to be eligible.

The lenders, companies and credit unions that we work with understand that not everyone has a perfect credit score and the nature of the product is meant to help people become debt free and get back on their feet. See also, loans for people with very bad credit.

Whilst the best rates may be assigned for people with good credit scores, you can certainly be eligible if you have a regular income and stable employment, either full-time, part-time or self-employed.

Whilst the product is an unsecured personal loan by nature, there are extended options to use collateral or security if you have extremely bad or poor credit. So if you own a home, property or car, this can be used as collateral to consolidate your credit cards, but just note that this could be at risk of repossession or foreclosure if you cannot make payments on time.

FAQs

Will I Definitely Save Money Using a Personal Loan To Pay Off Credit Cards?

No, you need to ensure that the rate you are being charged is lower than what you are currently paying – and also consider the total loan amount over how many years you are taking it out for. 

The longer you take out a loan for, the more expensive it will be since most interest is accrued.

How Many Credit Cards Can I Pay Off At Once?

Using a credit consolidation loan, you could pay off anywhere from 2 to 20 credit cards at once (if not more depending on the lender). The one single personal loan is designed to help pay everything off and remove any outstanding credit card debts.

If you would like to only pay off some of your credit card debts and leave some others open, you also have the choice to do this.

You can be approved within 24 hours or the same day and once approved, whether it is for $5,000, $10,000 or more, you can receive the money within 24 to 48 hours.

Is This Type of Consolidation Loan Secured or Unsecured?

Both. This is typically a personal loan which is unsecured, so the eligibility is based on your income, affordability, employment and credit score.
