How David saved almost $12,000 by consolidating his credit card debt.
Today many clients are using second mortgages to consolidate debt, payout balances owning to CRA, pay for home renovations, and access home equity for many other purposes. Many clients benefit from keeping the remaining term on an existing mortgage at a fixed rate (remember 2.69%?) and avoiding the penalties and documentation required to refinance.
David approached us a few months back to consolidate $60,000 of debt he had accumulated on number of credit cards due to a family emergency and him being temporarily off work. In addition to helping improve David’s credit score and relieve him from a lot of stress, consolidate the credit card debt with a second mortgage will save David close to $12,000 in interest over the 2 years remaining on his mortgage.
Credit card interest is often compounded daily, which means the 19.99% advertised rate works out to 22.12% annual percentage rate (APR).
