Hi all,
I hope you can offer some advice on this. I am about to start paying a mortgage on a joint property with my partner, this will work out around €800 a month each. I am considering consolidating two other loans I have to make repayments more manageable.
I have car finance over 4 years at 7%, I'm a year into this and the closing balance would be €11,000. I also have a 4 year credit union loan @ 6.95% and closing balance at the moment would be €13,000. At the moment my repayments on the two loans come to nearly €700. Im hoping to consolidate the amount by borrowing the total amount off the credit union to bring the repayment down to €500. By doing this am I paying two lots of interest? Would I be better trying to get on with it and keep paying what I am paying now? Or are there any other options Im missing out on?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
