30. Problems managing your debts

When you are having problems managing your debts you should look into debt consolidation. This term covers a plethora of financial products such as Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVA), bad credit loans and bad credit mortgages. All of which can help anyone with adverse credit.

When you apply for any financial product your credit rating is checked. This helps potential lenders see how credit worthy you are. They need to make sure you are worth the risk of lending money to. They will look your financial position (your incomings and outgoings) and if the reason you are applying for credit sensible. They will know if you have had any problems in the past with a financial provider.

Do not apply to mortgage lenders or loan dealers if you think you will be turned down. Every time you are turned down it counts as a black mark against you and increases your adverse credit. If you are applying for debt consolidation in the form of a bad credit mortgage or a bad credit loan it may be best practice to go through an independent financial advisor or mortgage broker, they will know who to apply to.

With an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) you need to go through an insolvency practioner. They take how much you are prepared to pay and talk to your creditors to reach an agreement on how to pay some of it back.

They have to get an Interim Order to stop your creditors hassling you or upping interest rates. Once the Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) is in place your creditors back off and you know how much you are paying.

Other forms of debt consolidation like bad credit loans and bad credit mortgages allow the rate of interest may fluctuate and your equity may be at some risk.
