More loans
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.
Do you recognize yourself in this situation?
Here are a few questions to help you make up your mind.
Is your income no longer enough to pay off your debts?
Is your bank refusing to grant you a new loan?
Your credit rating is low and your limits have been reached?
Worried about losing your home, car or other possessions?
Are you looking for a second mortgage, a “second” or “third” chance loan, or a fast loan with no collateral or verification?
Possible solution
Informal agreement with creditors
A negotiated settlement with your creditors, without recourse to the Bankruptcy Act, is sometimes possible. The trustee becomes a valuable ally.
