How can I get a debt consolidation loan? Everybody’s turning my husband and I down for too much credit?

Jenn asked:


My husband and I are trying to straighten out our finances because we have a lot of debt (credit cards mostly) and we want to buy a house. Everyone tells us that getting a a debt consolidation loan will help because we can combine all of our debts into one monthly payment, but we kept getting turned down or offered a low amount because we have too much credit being used. What’s the point of a debt consolidation loan if your too much in debt?

How does student loan debt affect my credit score?

Fly girl asked:


I am at the final stage of paying off credit card balances. Just one more month, yippee!!!! I’ve also already paid off my car loan 7 months before the maturation date. Anyway, I still have close to $50,000 in student loan debts- federal and private. But that’s it. I have never had any major credit problems. Will all this student loan debt have a negative impact on my credit score and rating?
I always make the payments on time every month.

Does student loan debt hinder getting a mortgage?

TwistedxKiss asked:


I was watching a tv show on HGTV about people buying their first houses, and one of the families couldn’t get a decent mortgage amount because they had credit card debt. Is that just because the credit card debt affected their credit in general? If someone has student loan debt can they still get a mortgage as long as they are meeting at least the minimum payments?
Pretend you are talking to a 12 year old. I have no financial experience yet. :P

What Do I need to Qualify for Debt Consolidation Loan?

Ivan S asked:


Not credit counseling, but debt consolidation loan. Can’t find any good info on the web, so your educated opinion would be helpful. What are credit requirements, home equity requirement, debt service ratio and other factors?

If you know a good resource that would be very helpful as well!!

Thanks.
