Consolidating a car hp and 2 loans into one, advice?

Options
Hi all
i have just taken a new job on, and am looking to re finance my loans all into one bundle on an unsecured basis
i have poor credit history (i might add this for the last 5 years has been superb but is due to issues before that)
i have loans in the region of 12000 which include car finance at 6000 to pay off if i pay now, 5000 to the failed north yorkshire credit union and 2000 elsewhere
they are rough guesses
can anyone advise of anywhere i could try to consolidate these into one loan?
i currently pay a total of 460 a month so would like to get it down a bit and if i pay the car off i save a fortune in interest i would pay on that too.

thanks

i dont own property, i rent currently

    best to find out exactly what you owe
    and what APR is
    and your monthly payments
    and how many payment to go

    what is your salary
    what do your credit files actually say
  • Hi
    i have 2 years 8 months to run on one
    4 years on one
    and another is just onw i pay 50 pound a month off till its paid

    any suggestions where i could head
    i save 4100 in interest alone on the car
    obviously i wont but im sure i could get cheaper payments than im paying combined

    entirely up to you but you need to answer the questions
  • If your debt is anywhere near half your salary, no lender will touch you.

    From what you are saying...I would say that it is very unlikely that you'll get a loan...
