Having many debts increases the risk of tainting your credit report. To speed up and simplify the repayment of your debts, a mortgage debt consolidation loan can be an interesting solution for you.
Debt consolidation loan means refinancing your current mortgage to include all your other high interest debt in order to make only one monthly payment - your mortgage payment. In addition, the prevailing interest rates for a mortgage are generally much lower than all other loans. It is therefore often a more than advantageous solution.
