Personal Loan
A personal loan is a good solution if you have a very good credit score. Interest rates can be in the 5% to 7% range with a term as long as 7 years.
Home Equity Loan or Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)
A home equity loan or home equity line of credit can be a good way to clear off old debt and spread the cost out over many years. When you have good credit and the bank looks to provide a home equity loan or HELOC, they will normally finance the property up to 80-90% of the loan to value. The loan to value is the difference between the size of the mortgage and what you will get if you sold the property. With poor or fair credit, the loan to value may drop to as low as 60 to 70% and the interest rates may be higher.

Cash Out Refinancing
Cash-out refinancing can offer two benefits, it can improve the terms of an existing mortgage and delivers additional funds at a lower interest rate. Homeowners who are looking for a $100,000 in additional capital may want to look at cash-out refinancing. The main purpose of cash-out refinancing is to put cash in your pocket from the equity that you've built up in your home. This capital could be used for debt consolidation and just is another way to access cash without adding a home equity loan or line of credit.
Pros and cons of Cash Out Financing
The new mortgage will offer one loan payment instead of adding the home equity loan or credit line monthly fees. Your success will depend on your current equity.
Like any mortgage, you will have legal fees, home inspections, and appraisal fees. If you review the costs from your first mortgage, expect the same charges all over again. Depending on the terms of your first mortgage, you may also be subject to prepayment penalties. Review your existing mortgage and check for early repayment fees.

Debt to Income Ratio
Debt to income looks at the amount you make every month and the amount you spend. They call this a debt to income ratio and we have inserted a debt to income calculator below to see if you are below 50%. Many lenders will not even look at a loan application with bad credit while others will look at your equity and maybe request a larger lien on the property. Mortgage Refinancing Mortgage refinancing is paying off your existing mortgage with a new mortgage then adding cash to the new mortgage. You can also describe this as cash-out refinancing your home. Contact a mortgage provider to discuss cash-out refinancing.

America loan Service was contacted by Deandrea to help find a $100000 loan to clear off credit card debt and pay off a few smaller student loans. She wanted to get down to one payment. We had many discussions with her and wanted to share her experience with our viewers. She decided on a home equity line of credit because this was a good solution for her situation.
Deandrea made an attempt to obtain a consolidation loan for $100,000.00 last year and was not accepted

Deandrea applied at several lending institutions but was always turned down. Finally, Deandrea contacted America Loan Service and we were able to explain why she was turned down. Regardless of the circumstances that caused our score to be below 620, every lender looks very closely at the entire report. How many late payments were there on his/her credit report and/ or loan payments. Are there collections or a bankruptcy reported. How long have they had their existing credit cards and / or loans? What are their work history and annual income? Are they able to support the repayment of the loan they are applying for. How big of a risk is this applicant should we approve the loan. It is hard to accept when a person's score is below what banks consider 'safe' to approve a loan. What other steps can a person take to improve their score.

Credit Bureaus consider multiple hard pulls by lending institutions as one pull as long as they are all within 14 days for a mortgage and/or loan. If a person is applying for a credit card at multiple places, each inquiry by the credit card companies is considered a unique pull and can lower your overall credit score anywhere from 3 - 5 points.

Comment from Deandrea after visiting Southcoast Bank Corp. at 515 North Flagler Drive:
Deandrea was able to get the $100,000 loan using the equity in their home. They decided on a home equity line of credit to keep the payments lower right now. They are expecting an inheritance in about 3 to 5 years that will pay this debt off 100%. We recommended that Deandrea contact Novita to get help from a credit repair company as several items reported on her report were incorrect. Once she has these items removed from her report, her credit score will improve.

Our family consolidated our personal loans recently. It was the greatest decision we could have done for our finances. we felt as though all we did make payments and we never lowered the balance. We were felt like our finances were out of control. we reached out for a debt consolidation loan. we are so happy we did. we never miss a payment. we should have done this a long time ago.

i have not been paying attention to my finances and it is time to get back on track. i think i should bring together all of my expenses that I am making right now into one payment that will allow me to take care of my financial responsibilities and allow me to start saving money for my future. I would greatly appreciate help to turn my financial future around while still being accountable for the funds that i have received. Thank you,
