For people with several debts who want to reduce their outgoings and simplify their finances the following options can be used to clear debt:-

Debt Consolidation Loan – This involves by spreading the repayments out over a longer period of time than the original debts, monthly payments can be lower, which can make a big difference to available income. However, more will be paid in interest as a result of the longer repayment period. The key benefits of debt consolidation are reduced financial commitments and less risk of late payment fees. Read all about Consolidation loan or Remortgages here.

Debt Management Plan - This involves working with a debt adviser to negotiate lower monthly payments based on how much they can afford. However, a debt management plan will normally require people to pay whatever available income they have left after payments to household expenses have been taken into account, so anyone entering a debt management plan should be fully committed to repaying their debts.
