Reunification of loans

The reunification of loans (also called consolidation, debt consolidation or unification) makes all of your monthly payments in a lump sum less than the sum of all your current monthly payments.

In order to undertake the reunification, it is necessary to owning a property, even if it is mortgaged. The unification is to mortgage your property or renegotiate the mortgage you have now to pay your other debts. There are also companies that make loans to carry out consolidation, but we must be very careful when you take this route.

To cancel the debts, and since the interest rate on mortgages is much lower than that of personal loans, credit cards, etc., Save lots of money in interest, so your debt is reduced. By reducing your debt the only monthly fee you will have to pay after the reunification is also usually lower than the sum of all that pagabas before.

In short, a good option to reduce substantially the interests of all your debts.

Personal loans, yes. No microcredit.

Unlike mortgages, in which the repayment period can reach 40 years, personal loans are characterized by a period of much shorter-return between one month and five-years, a loan not very high -- between 3,000 euros and 60,000 euros and an interest rate is quite high, between 7 and 10% APR (and even more in loans under € 3,000).

This higher rate of interest is also because the bank runs a higher risk because it does not have any kind of guarantee in the event of a default, whereas in the mortgage guarantee is a property, which empowers the bank to dispose of the thing mortgaged in the event of default.

Need € 3,000?: Careful!

Recently there have been financial companies, which are advertised heavily in television, which are specialized in the segment of micro-loans for an amount not exceeding 3,000 euros. With a high cost of financing, its nominal interest is around 20% annually, and may even reach a 22'9% and the APR is up to 24'6%.

The granting of a convenient and faster consumer credit conditions fired can hide under the small print, and what is presented as a great opportunity to deal with a sudden, it becomes a cost greater than we expected. Thus, for a credit of 3,000 euros, with an APR of 24'6%, after 12 months will have paid 415 euros in interest.
