Types of Debt Consolidation Loans
1. Personal Loan Consolidation — a personal loan used to pay off multiple debts and replace them with one EMI.
2. Balance Transfer — moving existing debt to another lender offering lower interest rates.
3. Secured Consolidation Loan — a loan backed by collateral such as property, gold, or fixed deposits. Lower rate, higher risk.
4. Debt Management Program — a structured repayment plan arranged through financial advisors or debt resolution services.
