Debt Consolidation: Is it Right for You?

Debt Consolidation

Debt consolidation FAQs

  • What is this?

    What is a debt consolidation loan?
    A debt consolidation loan combines high-interest debt, like credit cards, into one manageable personal loan. Some advantages of debt consolidation loans include lower interest rates, fixed monthly payments, and fewer payment due dates to track.
  • How much?

    How much can I borrow?
    Our personal loans range from $2,000 to $36,500. The loan amount you may be approved for depends upon your individual credit profile and the information you provide during the application process. The maximum loan amount offered is based upon what is believed to be affordable for you. We take several factors into consideration including your current DTI (debt-to-income ratio) and PTI (payment-to-income ratio).
  • How long does it take?

    How long does it take to receive a preliminary approval decision?
    Based on your credit picture and the information provided on the application, LendingPoint returns your loan offer(s) in just seconds. Once you have selected your preferred loan option, we’ll ask for some additional information and documents. After all required documentation has been received and verified, a final underwriting review and loan approval is completed.
  • Does impact credit score?

    Does applying impact my credit score?
    In one word, no. Providing your basic information to view loan options does not impact your credit score. To determine how much you qualify for, we conduct a “soft pull” of your credit, which is a simple data request so that we can view your credit report. If you select a loan option from us, before final approval we require a “hard inquiry” to verify the information you’ve provided on the application. This “hard inquiry” will be seen as an inquiry on your credit report.

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.
