Debt Consolidation Help

Posts Tagged ‘Your’

In a debt consolidation program is it likely that you will be able to obtain additional credit?

I have $7,000 in debt and I have heard about debt consolidation. Does this negatively affect your credit rating? Do you get to choose how much you pay monthly or is there a set amount they make you pay? I live in Canada, if that matters.

From what i gather about remortgaging, you release equity on your house and you are increasing the value of your original mortgage debt. It could be to pay off credit card debts or invest into a buy to let. Well my question is: is it possible to lower the initial mortgage debt simply by remortgaging the appreciation of the house. For example, if i bought a place for 170k with a 30k deposit and since then it has risen to lets say 240k, if i remortgage with another mortgage provider can i use the capital appreciation of 70k to lower the mortgage even further? Hence, my original mortgage loan of 140k is now reduced to 70k. Is this possible or am i just dreaming?? The other thing is if the above was possible would it be best to remortgage the capital appreciation to lower the original mortgage debt or remortgage the value of the house to invest into a buy to let??
