                    I am looking to consolidate my loans and debts into one payment but I also want to clear it as soon as possible.
I owe £9000 loan to Halifax, and £7000 to my mum.
I earn £1000 a month and only have to pay £50 towards car tax a month, £100 fuel and £30 phone.
Atm I pay £200 to mum and £223 to the bank a month.
I think I can. I somehow seem to be still struggling with this!
I really want it all gone and I am currently starting avon to try and bring some more money in.
The loan I have with halifax is not one that I can make bulk payments on.
Ive worked out that I could pay £500 a month off the loan.
Has any one got any suggestions about this or where I could get one from?
Thanks
Cat

            You won't get a new loan for 16k as you owe more than you earn.
 Best thing you can do is up your income to be able to pay more off your debts.MFW 2025 #50: £1989.73/£600007/03/25: Mortgage: £67,000.00

            The loan from your mum is presumably interest-free anyway, so why would you want to consolidate it at all?
 Ok, and at the moment you pay a total of £423pm to both loans.Ive worked out that I could pay £500 a month off the loan.
 With the extra £77 you can either up the repayments you make to your mum or save it up every month till you get a lump sum.
 What apr is your Halifax loan at the moment?0
