After a year of unsuccessfully trying to conceive naturally, Jaclyn and Richard racked up thousands in fertility treatment costs on credit before becoming pregnant with their son Mac. Their debt piled up when Jaclyn’s maternity leave reduced her regular monthly take-home pay by 55%, but Richard still plans to become a stay at home Dad. Neither Jaclyn or Richard are willing to give anything up to make ends meet. Host Gail Vaz-Oxlade breaks the difficult truth: if they don’t stop encouraging each others’ reckless spending and instead start working together to manage their finances, this couple’s future may be filled with a big debt instead of the big family they’ve always wanted. –

Debt consolidation (or refinancing) can make it easier to manage your repayments. But it may cost you more if the interest rate or fees (or both) are higher than before. You could also get deeper into debt if you get more credit, as it may tempt you to spend more.

Here are some things to consider before deciding to consolidate or refinance.

Avoid companies that make unrealistic promises
Some companies advertise that they can get you out of debt no matter how much you owe. This is unrealistic.

Don’t trust a company that:

is not licensed
asks you to sign blank documents
refuses to discuss repayments
rushes the transaction
won’t put all loan costs and the interest rate in writing before you sign
arranges a business loan when all you need is a basic consumer loan

Make sure you will be paying less
Compare the interest rate for the new loan — as well as the fees and other costs — against your current loans. Make sure you can afford the new repayments.

If the new loan will be more expensive than your current loans, it may not be worth it.

Use our mortgage switching calculator

Compare the interest and fees on a new loan with your current loans.

Remember to check for other costs, such as:

penalties for paying off your original loans early
application fees, legal fees, valuation fees, and stamp duty. Some lenders charge these fees if the new loan is secured

against your home or other assets
Beware of switching to a loan with a longer term. The interest rate may be lower, but you could pay more in interest and fees in the long run.

Protect your home or other assets
To get a lower interest rate, you might be considering turning your unsecured debts

(such as credit cards or personal loans) into a single secured debt

. For a secured debt, you put up an asset (such as your home or car) as security.

This means that if you can’t pay off the new loan, the home or car that you put up as security may be at risk. The lender can sell it to get back the money you borrowed.

Consider all your other options before using your home or other assets as security.

Consider your other options first
Before you pay a company to help you consolidate or refinance your debts:

Talk to your mortgage provider
If you’re struggling to pay your mortgage, talk to your mortgage provider (lender) as soon as possible.

All lenders have programs to help you in tough times. Ask to speak to their hardship team about a hardship variation

. They may be able to change your loan terms, or reduce or pause your repayments for a while.

Consider switching home loans
A different home loan could save you money in interest and fees. But make sure it really is a better deal. See switching home loans.

Talk to your credit providers
If you have credit card debt or other loans, ask your credit provider if they can change your repayments or extend your loan. The National Debt Helpline website has information about how to negotiate payment terms.

Consider a credit card balance transfer
A balance transfer may be a good way to get on top of your debts. But it can also create more problems. See credit card balance transfers to help you choose wisely.

Debt Busters CEO Ian Wason looks at the costs associated with Debt Counselling.

Many families want to adopt, but do not have the large amount of money it takes to complete a private domestic or international adoption. Some quickly give up the idea of adopting and are left feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and discouraged. Those who choose to proceed often take out large loans or borrow from family and friends which adds to the financial pressure on the family. Author Julie Gumm shares proven strategies from her own experience as well as from others that include applying for grants, creative budgeting, and fundraising that prospective adoptive parents can use to prepare for and avoid those high costs associated with adoption.

In 2000, Julie and her husband, Mark, declared war on their debt credit cards, student loans, cars and the house. Seven years later, as they wrote the check for their last mortgage payment, God called them to adopt two children from Ethiopia. A few months later, with their income unexpectedly cut by two-thirds, they wondered if they could finish the adoption without crossing back over into the red.

When they brought Wendemagegn and Beza home 12 months later, Julie and her husband proved debt-free adoption is possible!

Passionate about helping others achieve their adoption dream, Julie shares how to find extra money in your household budget, apply for grants, and fundraise in order to build your family without saddling it with debt.

With over $80,000 worth of creative fundraising ideas from more than 30 adoptive families, the second edition of Adopt Without Debt shows you how to fulfill your adoption dream without signing away your financial freedom.
