subject: Are There Risks Associated to a Debt Consolidation Agency? [print this page] As with any loan there are risks, and a debt consolidation loan is no different. Firstly you have to think of the benefits before any negatives, one of which is that you are eventually going to be free of your credit arrears and possibly any other overdue balances you may have. Paula de la Torre Editor of the "Best Debt Consolidation Companies" website -- http://www.BestDebtConsolidationCompanies.net -- pointed out; You should always think positive when it comes to financial liabilities that can be rectified, as any more stress on yourself is just a step backwards and you dont need that right now do you? What you have to consider before thinking about any risks is the amount of good a consolidatory service can do for you, your finances and your overall credit rating which has had a real downturn lately. A debt consolidation agency, service, company or whatever you know them as are there to help you, and if you keep up with the payments on the loan then all will work out in the end. One risk if you do not keep up with those payments is with regard to your credit rating. Think about this for a minute; when you didnt pay off your original loans and bills on time, what damage did it do to your good name with the credit scoring companies? It was severely affected, so think about the damage caused if you start defaulting on your consolidation advance. Another risk is when your overall relationship with Experian and co starts to blossom again, you might think that going out and grabbing another bargain credit facility would be a good idea no! Under no circumstances should you be tempted into more credit. Finish paying your advance from the consolidation agency first, by then you should have thought about the lessons you will have learned P. de la Torre added. It is amazing how many people fall into that trap of getting more finance on the slate it is just plain silly to do this, when you think of all the good that can come out of getting out of debt in the first place. Just stick with the debt help for now and you will be a sure winner in the end. I know this has been a bit of a straight talk, but lets be in no uncertain terms here if it is help that you want, then help you are going to get it starts with a little honesty! Good luck.
