Consolidate Consolidation Loan
Question: Can you get a loan to pay off to other debt consolidation loans?
Answer: Since you have several debt consolidation loans, I assume that they are unsecured consolidation loans, as it is difficult to obtain more than one secured consolidation loan. There are several different options to refinance re-consolidate your loans, but the one that will best suit your situation depends primarily on whether or not you own ahome and your credit history. Also, the amount of your debt will be a consideration. If you only owe a few hundred dollars in debt, a debt consolidation loan may not be available to you, but if you owe several thousand, or more, a consolidation loan may be a good choice.
If you own a home, a secured debt consolidation loan may be right for you.
I can tell you that applying cannot hurt to see if you can save. Bills.com makes it easy to compare mortgage offers and different loan types. Please visit the loan page and find a loan that meets your needs at:

This type of loan is essentially a home equity loan which is used to pay off your other creditors. Secured consolidation loans help many consumers by consolidating all of their debts into a single monthly payment with a lower interest rate and payment amount. However, be careful before you borrow money against your home to pay off credit cards and
personal loans; you are converting what was previously unsecured debt into secured debt. This could cause you problems down the road if for some reason you are unable to make your payments, or if life circumstances force you to file bankruptcy, as you may not be able to discharge the secured debt as you would unsecured debt. However, secured debt consolidation loans work for many people, so this is an option to consider carefully–the Bills.com Savings Center is a great resource to help you find a lender for this type of loan.
If you do not own a home or other property to offer as collateral for a secured debt consolidation loan, there are several other options you should consider. You could look into an unsecured personal loan to consolidate your debts–check out the loans section of the Bills.com Savings Center for unsecured debt consolidation loans that may improve your situation. However, if your credit history is less than perfect, you may have difficulty finding a lender willing to extend
you credit, and if you do find a loan, you should expect to pay a premium in interest. In fact, a conventional unsecured debt consolidation loan, such as those I mention above, may be impractical and cost-prohibitive if you have credit problems.
A private lender may be more willing extend you a loan than a traditional bank. If one of these options will not work for your situation, the Bills.com offers a wealth of information regarding the various debt help options available to consumers–visit http://www.bills.com/debthelp/ for more information.
