Debt consolidation Loan

Is there a place that will give you a debt consolidation loan when you have high balances on CC.  My husband has "good credit" about 675 score and is trying to get a debt consolidation loan of about $12k to pay off credit cards and hopefully a lower interest rate but gets denied because of short history (3yrs), and high balances, but Gosh that's the reason why he needs the loan, to pay those off.  ANY RECOMMENDATIONS?

Hi Jess, 

 

I don't know, there are just so many variables lenders consider. Lenders look at more than just scores. What's his DTI ratios? All 3 FICO scores? What is his UT in aggregate and for each individual card? Does he make more than the minimum pymt on each card? Are there any baddies or derogs on his CRs? All of these things are considered by lenders.

 

How many cards is he trying to pay off? Has he tried contacting each CCC and requesting APR reduction?

Hi Jess

 

Consider possibling going to a Credit Union! 

 

Either Local or someone of the big ones out there like NAVY FEDERAL, DCU, ..and others 

 

Look on the web for credit unions and call them and talk to them ....

Re: Debt consolidation Loan

Thank you,  We bank through the SECU so we are going to apply too but I have a feeling he'll be denied as well, his makes about 38k/yr and owes about $11k in cc debt.  He has no derrogatory marks on his reports,  just high balances on CC which is what we are t rying to work with

Re: Debt consolidation Loan

My husband just used upstart.com and got a 18k debt consolidation loan to pay off high balances with cc. It took about 2 weeks to get funded but we got it. Scores were around there and income as yours as well. Good luck

Re: Debt Consolidation Loan

Not sure if you're eligible, but try Navy Federal or your local credtit union.. I was denied for a debt consoldation at NFCU because of the same reasons you listed, but they approved me for a credit card that was equivalent to the amount of the loan I'd requested (separate apps..justt a conincidence).
