Does Getting a Debt Consolidation Loan Mess Up Your Credit?

Jan. 4, 2010 - PRLog -- Some of your questions are rooted in past experience and others have their origins in things you have heard or read, but when it comes to your finances all of your questions are legitimate.

Hector Milla Editor of the "Best Debt Consolidation Companies" website -- http://www.BestDebtConsolidationCompanies.net -- pointed out;

“…If you have decided that your monthly budget is out of control and you need help, you should consider talking to a debt consolidation company about getting your high interest rate loans under the umbrella of one low interest rate payment…”

If you are unfamiliar with debt assistance then you will have questions about the process and how it can affect your financial future. These questions are normal and expected by the financial professional you decide to speak to.

As important as our finances are to us on a daily basis, many people lack the understanding that is required to navigate the more complicated waters of the financial world. That is why you turn to professionals, and that is why you should seek out the advice of a debt expert when you are considering consolidating any of your debt.

One of the common concerns that people have when they come into contact with a debt assistance company for the first time is whether or not the programs offered by the company will negatively affect the customer’s credit rating. It is a legitimate concern and one that can be answered with a simple no.

A debt professional is going to work with you to develop a plan that will help you get your monthly debt under control, and help you free up more monthly cash flow. In the process, they will be working with you to pay off those high interest rate credit accounts that are a burden on your credit and dragging your credit score down. Once those accounts are dealt with, your credit score should begin to rebound over time.

“…The short answer to the question of whether or not a debt consolidation plan can hurt your credit is no. The long answer is a program that puts you in a better financial position every month, and starts to rebuild your credit rating as you pay off your monthly debts…” added H. Milla.
