What is a debt consolidation loan?
A debt consolidation loan is where you take out a loan to pay off existing debts. So in effect you are lumping together all your existing debts, clearing them with a debt consolidation loan and then making just one payment a month to clear the outstanding balance.You may find that you save money too, as taking out a 9% APR loan to clear a credit card with a balance accruing interest at 16.5% APR makes sense. There is also the psychological factor of only having one monthly repayment to manage rather than lots.
What is a secured lender?
A secured lender is a loan provider who secures the loan against your assets such as your home or car. Interest rates on loans provided by secured lenders tend to be cheaper than those offered by unsecured lenders. This is because the secured lender can seize your assets should you fail to meet the repayment terms whereas the unsecured lender cannot.
What is an early redemption penalty?

When looking for credit, it makes sense to check out the early redemption clause. That way you can see how much you could be liable for should you decide to pay off the borrowing before the end of the agreed term.
