If you have more than one debt and you`re looking to rearrange your finances, a debt consolidation loan could help. By paying off your existing debts with your new loan, you`ll be left with just one monthly payment to deal with - and you can pay it back at a rate that suits you, within limits. Just be aware that repaying a debt more slowly is likely to increase the overall cost, as it`ll have longer to accrue interest.

How long your repayment period can be can depend on the type of debt consolidation loan you take out.

Finding the right debt solution can be a difficult task, with all the options on offer. An expert debt adviser can help you to find the right option for your individual circumstances - but what if those circumstances change?

You`ll only be able to enter into certain debt solutions (like a debt management plan or IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement)) if you and your lenders are satisfied that it`s a good long-term option. Others (such as a debt consolidation loan) are only appropriate for people who are sure they`ll be able to afford the repayments.

For people with unmanageable debt problems, an IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) may be one option. An IVA is a legally-binding agreement with your lenders that enables you to repay as much of your unsecured debt as you can realistically afford within a set period of time (usually five years), after which your remaining unsecured debt will be written off.

However, an IVA is by no means the only option available to people with unmanageable debts - and you should make sure you explore all your options before making any decisions.
