Whether it is required for a financial necessity or one of life's little luxuries,Consolidation or holiday loans - finance for luxuries and necessities Articles a loan may be available even if you have a bad credit rating.

If you are planning a dream family holiday, the last thing you want is a loan that is difficult to find or has an awkward application process. You are more likely to want a loan that is processed quickly - especially if you want to take advantage of a last minute deal.

A broker can help you here. They will be able to search through hundreds of holiday loans, comparing interest rates, repayment terms and any fees and charges.

They will also be able to help you when you are filling in the application forms, by answering any questions you might have. You can help the application process run smoothly, by ensuring you have all the necessary paperwork, including:

- Recent payslips.

- Proof of identification, which should include your address and photograph.

- Bank statements.

- Utility bills.

Using a broker to find your holiday loan will help you get into the holiday mood. Instead of working to find the right finance for you, you can relax - safe in the knowledge that a professional is searching the market for you.

Of course, there are secured loans available for almost any purpose, as well as funding a holiday. One of the most popular is debt consolidation.

This involves taking out one low-cost secured loan to pay off any existing debts. By replacing several debts with one monthly repayment, debt consolidation means that you can simplify your outgoings and save money.

With a debt consolidation loan, you can repay:

- Credit card bills.

- Car loans.

- Student loans.

- Mail order or hire purchase debts.

By taking out a secured loan to repay unsecured debts such as credit card bills, you can dramatically reduce the rate of interest.

Moreover, juggling several loans can be highly stressful, so taking out a debt consolidation loan can reduce your worries, as well as your outgoings.

Even if you have been turned down for a loan by your bank or building society, a broker will be able to find a lender who will be happy to pay out. In fact, there are many lenders who will offer credit, even if you have:

- CCJs.

- Mortgage arrears.

- A poor credit rating.

- Defaults on previous loans.

If your debts are getting on top of you, a debt consolidation loan is a great way to get your finances back on track and under your control.
