When looking into debt consolidation, before you accept a new home loan or borrow money on your current home's equity for that debt consolidation, think objectively so you don't end up paying more for a loan than you expected or than you can afford. This loan guide highlights how to prepare and what to look for in a home loan or debt consolidation. We have also evaluated several loan sources that we believe should be included in your home loan or debt consoliation analysis activity. The broad outline for analyzing a loan should follow 6 basic steps in preparing for and analyzing any loan prior to acceptance:
- It is imperative that you know your credit rating and credit score prior to applying for a debt consolidation or home loan to ensure that you are not considered a credit risk. You can order a tri-company loan credit report (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion). To save time and money order a combined 3-BUREAU CREDIT REPORT here: CreditReporting.com.
- Be cautious about using a home equity loan to consolidate credit card debt or other debt consolidation. If you destroy your credit cards upon receipt of the debt consolidation home loan, it can be justified. Most times the credit card debt starts upward once again after being paid off through a home loan based debt consolidation. Be careful, you do not fall into this trap.
- Shop around when considering debt consolidation or a home loan. Get several offers, then pick the debt consolidation or mortgage loan that's best for you; not a loan that is best for the lender or broker. You will find one of the best loan calculators here: Home Loan Calculator.
- Close your debt consolidation or home loan deal carefully. Once you've found the loan you want, make sure you get the deal you were promised.
- Know your legal rights and use them. You have a legal right to know the details of your debt consolidation or home loan: The total cost of borrowing the money (fees and interest); The annual percentage rate (APR); The number of payments and the payment amounts; How long you have to pay back the loan; and, the total amount you have borrowed in the loan.
- Report things that go wrong and get legal assistance. If you believe your debt consolidation or mortgage loan lender is dishonest, e.g. you discover fees that you weren't told about or you were required to buy credit insurance.. report it! See the Home Loan Recourse section below for contact information.

For general information
the U.S. government published a highly informative handbook:
The 2005 Consumer Action Handbook. The Handbook features
general advice on steps to take when shopping for goods or
services, along with warnings on what to watch out for when
shopping for a car or auto loan, credit, or home loan and
improvement. The Handbook also includes information on how
to solve consumer problems, as well as addresses, telephone
numbers, and websites where you can file any type of consumer
complaint with consumer organizations, corporations, trade
associations, BBBs and government agencies at the city, county,
state and Federal level. Visit http://www.consumeraction.gov/index.shtml to
order the handbook.
The Consumer Credit
Protection Act of 1968 launched Truth in Lending disclosures
- truly landmark
legislation. For
the first time, creditors had to state the cost of borrowing
in a common language so that you—the Michigan
consumer—could figure out what the charges are, compare
costs, and shop for the best credit deal in Michigan.
All forms of credit are covered; to include a auto loan or
home loan. Since 1968, credit protections in Michigan
have multiplied rapidly. The concepts of "fair" and "equal" credit
have been written into laws that outlaw unfair discrimination
in credit transactions in Michigan (MI); require that
consumers be told the reason when credit is denied; let borrowers
find out about their credit records; and set up a way to
settle billing disputes. If you have any concerns whatsoever
over a home loan, auto loan or any consumer complaint you
can contact the Michigan (MI) Office of the Attorney
General:
Consumer Protection Division
