Consolidate straightaway
You could consolidate your borrowing straightaway, as long as you
- Apply online or in your app and your application is approved
- Sign your agreement online or in your app between 7am and 10.30pm
Fixed monthly repayments
Your repayments will be fixed, and you can choose your payment date, to help you budget. Stay on top of your borrowing with one, simple monthly payment.
Take control of your debt with a Barclayloan
Having just one loan could be more straightforward and easier to manage than a number of payments to different lenders.
But it’s worth noting that consolidating debts might involve payment of a higher rate of interest or charges – or both. Consolidating debts might also increase the overall period required for repayment.

Consolidating your debts
Spending on credit can seem like the norm for many people. But when debts mount up with different creditors, it’s easy to feel like you’re not in control of your finances. There are different options you could consider to consolidate your debt.
-
It pays to do your research on the different ways you can manage your debt – as it could save you money in the long run. Whichever option you choose, try to deal with your most urgent debts now – things like your rent or mortgage payments, and council tax. These are called priority debts. Not paying them could mean huge penalties, such as having your home repossessed, or possibly even a prison sentence. We’ve listed some of the ways you could manage your debt.
Debt consolidation loan
As we’ve mentioned, a debt consolidation loan is where you take out one large loan that pays off your existing debts. It’s usually arranged by you through a bank. These types of loan are usually used to pay off credit card and other personal loan debts.
Debt management plan
This is a plan between you and your creditors to pay off all your debt. It’s an agreement that’s arranged through a debt management company. Generally, but not always, your creditors will freeze the interest and penalties so that you can begin to reduce your debts more quickly.
Administration Order
You can apply to the county court for an Administration Order if your debts are under £5,000 and you have a county court judgment (CCJ). You don’t need to pay a fee to apply and the court decides what you pay back, depending on your income.
Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA)
An IVA is an agreement you make with your creditors through a court. You’ll need to set this up through an insolvency practitioner. This is a formal, legal debt solution, so if you don’t keep up repayments, you can be made bankrupt.
For more information on debt and ways to manage it, you can contact Citizens Advice.
