A new cheap consolidation loan

I applied online for a cheap consolidation loan through my bank. I figured if I refinanced everything into one consolidation loan the repayments would be less. The bank said no. I tried again for everything but the car. No. For just the $14000 card. No again. I knew I was in big trouble. I was on the verge of financial meltdown.

I applied through a non-bank lender for a cheap consolidation loan. It was rejected for the full amount of my cards but they offered to lend me $7000 to consolidate one of them. I remember sitting there in the office filling out the paper work. and seeing the interest rate. 31%. The repayment was going to be the same as on my $15000 loan. So much for my cheap consolidation loan. If only I had walked away.

"Do you want us to apply to close that card for you?"

"No."
