Before committing yourself, it’s essential to understand the impact of a new loan on your financial situation. Warning: a new loan is not always the best solution

While this may seem like a quick solution, taking out a new loan in these circumstances involves significant risks:

  • Interest rates are often very high, sometimes between 25% and 30%.
  • You save time, but pay more in the long run
  • The risk of losing your possessions increases considerably
  • Hidden costs may be added that you don’t anticipate
  • The lender may require an endorser, jeopardizing the finances of a loved one

Don’t make decisions without being well informed.
Our BRESSE advisors are here to explain your options and help you find a lasting solution.

Informal agreement with creditors
