Customer Overview
A married couple in their early 40s based in the UK, working in professional occupations, approached us with the goal of reducing financial stress caused by several high-interest debts.
With no savings to rely on and a desire to reduce monthly outgoings, they sought a strategic solution to simplify their finances and increase disposable income.
Challenges Faced
The couple was juggling numerous unsecured and one secured loan across different providers. The cumulative debt amounted to £73,116, with interest rates soaring up to 29%. Monthly debt repayments of around £1,420 were leaving them with minimal disposable income and increasing financial pressure due to:
- High-interest rates on credit cards and personal loans
- Difficulty managing multiple repayments and deadlines
- Financial strain from recent home improvements and living costs
- Desire to avoid long-term negative impact on credit file
The couple wanted a consolidated monthly repayment that would reduce anxiety, simplify budgeting, and offer more flexibility in their finances without incurring additional unsecured borrowing.
The Remortgage Solution Provided
After a thorough assessment of their income, expenditure, and future financial goals, we recommended a [debt consolidation remortgage]. This involved incorporating £73,116 worth of loan and credit card debt into their new mortgage deal. Key components of the tailored solution included:
- Utilising a lower-interest mortgage rate to eliminate higher-interest debts
- Consolidating existing credit card debts and loans into a single monthly mortgage payment
- Extending the mortgage term to reduce monthly obligations while preserving long-term stability
- Clear disclosure of total repayment costs, ensuring informed consent
Important Considerations Discussed
- They were educated on the longer-term cost of remortgaging unsecured debts as part of their mortgage—paying approximately £2.05 for every £1 borrowed
- The total estimated repayment of consolidated debts was £149,887.80, taking into account a full-term mortgage scenario
- Risks of securing previously unsecured debts were thoroughly explained
The Results: Increased Financial Stability & £1,175 Monthly Savings
Thanks to the remortgage, the couple not only simplified their finances but also significantly increased their monthly financial breathing room. Here’s how the outcome stacked up:
- £1,175.28 increase in net monthly disposable income
- Significant reduction in monthly outgoings and less risk of missed payments
- Peace of mind from better-managed household cash flow
- A plan to begin saving from the increased disposable income to prevent future debt buildup
