Debt Consolidation Loans Canada – Vaughan

Debt consolidation loans in Canada are designed to combine a number of different debts into one loan. In most cases the consumer has various unsecured loans such as credit cards which have the highest legal interest rate possible, in Canada that rate is 30%, so credit card companies will charge 29.9% interest, so that they are within the legal limit.

Debt consolidations loans in Canada will usually have a lower rate of interest because the lender will ask for some form of security to cover the loan. The security usually takes the form of your home or some other property. The additional security reduces the risk of the lender; in exchange for a lower rate of risk the lender will provide the money at a lower rate of interest. In most cases a secured loan will have an interest rate that is less than half of what retail credit cards charge.

Consumers that have bills which are in default or are past due may also have the opportunity to have their debts negotiated by our credit counselors. Most credit granting institutions would rather get a partial payment then run the risk of the consumer going bankrupt, which means the lender gets no money. In many cases the lender will reduce the principal amount rather than risk a bankruptcy, this can save the consumer thousands of dollars.
