What is a debt consolidation loan?
A debt consolidation loan is where you take out a loan to pay off existing debts. So in effect you are lumping together all your existing debts, clearing them with a debt consolidation loan and then making just one payment a month to clear the outstanding balance.You may find that you save money too, as taking out a 9% APR loan to clear a credit card with a balance accruing interest at 16.5% APR makes sense. There is also the psychological factor of only having one monthly repayment to manage rather than lots.

What is a prime lender?
Prime lenders are suitable for people who have an excellent credit history. Prime lenders typically offer the lowest interest rates and the lowest fees for borrowing, subject to you meeting their criteria. If you have late or missed payments on other credit within the last six years, it is unlikely that you will be accepted by a prime lender. If you do get accepted and your credit history is less than perfect, then you will probably pay a few percent more than your contemporaries with an excellent history.

What is an APR?
APR is short for 'Annual Percentage Rate' and it is a legal requirement for lenders to display the APR when advertising interest rates.It shows the true cost of borrowed money on mortgages, loans and credit cards. How it works is that the APR calculation takes into account all the costs associated with the borrowing (such as the basic interest rate, any costs you have to pay and any initial fees).Because lenders calculate APR the same way, it means that you can make significant cost comparisons between products.

What is a credit check?
A credit check is a search carried out by a potential lender to assess your suitability for credit. They will check your credit record to see your current and previous financial history. They can then give you a credit score to see if the way that you manage your finances meets their criteria for lending.
