| Cheap loans best for car finance
Britons are set to spend billions on new cars over the next six months, and cheap loans could be the best way of financing this. New figures from Sainsbury's Bank show 7.65 million people intend to buy a car between March 2007 and August this year, and 26 per cent of them plan to fund part of this purchase with a cheap loan. "Our findings estimate that of the total amount of money that will be spent on buying vehicles, around 15.8 per cent will be financed through personal loans, which equates to around £8.41 billion," said Steven Baillie, Sainsbury's Bank loans manager. "Although this represents a 33 per cent drop in the total planned for car purchase loans, it's actually more important than ever for people to shop around due to heightened competition in the market." Overall the Sainsbury's Bank survey shows 430,000 fewer people are planning to buy a car in the next six months than in the last six months, spending £16.2 billion less.
Consolidating Debt With Credit Cards
At some point we lose track of the due dates on our bills because we have so many credit cards to repay, and risk being charged late fees and penalties. If you find yourself in this situation then you may want to consider consolidating all your debts onto one credit card. The best option for consolidating all your debt is by obtaining a personal loan that you can then use to pay off all your cards and focus on paying just one monthly bill instead of five or six bills. Often a personal loan will offer a lower interest rate than what you are currently paying and the monthly payment may be less than what you were paying in total to all the creditors. Another option to consider is consolidating your debt onto one credit card. If you have a card with a low interest rate that has enough credit to allow you to transfer money onto it, then you may want to consider doing such.
