A debt consolidation mortgage is just like any other debt consolidation solution, it lowers your bills by reducing their interest rate and lumping all of your bills into one sum so they are easier to keep track of. Debt consolidation is a good idea and it is easy, you just need a counselor to work with your bank. Use the references on the bottom of this page to find a counselor if you want one. Lets break down debt consolidation mortgage to make this long statement into something to makes more sense. Debt - anything owed. This can be money, gold, bubble gum, ice cream cones. Anything. If you have promised someone something back in exchange to something they gave you using your own good word and haven't given it to them, that is called unsecured debt. You will feel badly not paying them back and they will be angry with you and may want to break your legs or steal something from you, but they can't just take anything from you because you haven't set up any collateral. If you trade someone your car for their beach house and you burn down their beach house, they get to keep your car. That is called secured debt because you have traded using your car as collateral. With a debt consolidation mortgage you are saving money so that if you can take out smaller mortgages and own more of your house. Consolidation - the merging or two or more things, even bad credit debt consolidation. This is when things combine, and by doing so are reduced in size. If my sister and I are going on a camping trip and each have a half full backpack, we may choose to combine the two in order to make more room. We will have one less backpack and therefore the one filled backpack will be smaller than two half full packs. That act of merging is called consolidation. When dealing with debt, consolidation lowers the amount due. Mortgage - a temporary and conditional pledge of property to a creditor as security of repayment or debt. A mortgage is a deal made between a homeowner and a creditor where the homeowner temporarily sells his house to the bank and receives the amount in cash. Though the bank owns the house the "homeowner" still occupies it, and if the homeowner ever wants to own the home again by paying back the borrowed money they are allowed to buy it for the same price they traded for. Now that we have these three terms down, lets put them back together. A debt consolidation mortgage is when a homeowner reduces the amount of unsecured debt they owe to the bank by working with creditors. Since they have to pay back the same amount that they borrowed what is being reduced is the monthly payment amount and the interest rate. A debt consolidation mortgage may save the homeowner money and spread out the time over which they will have to pay off the mortgage. Do you think a debt consolidation mortgage is right for you?
